Lowering your carbon footprint
Remember, when you save water you also help save the environment, by using less water when you shower and spending less time in the shower you use less energy - this helps reduce your household carbon emissions. The benefits on the environment of saving 40,000 litres of hot water simply by using a low flow showerhead and taking a shorter shower cuts household carbon emissions by up to 650 lbs a year (source: www.climatesolutions.org).
Waterwise UK has carried out research and found that the energy used to pump, treat and heat the water in the average family's home produces the carbon equivalent of a return flight from London to New York. These carbon emissions are a global problem, because they are aggravating the effects of climate change. You can help by reducing your carbon emissions by wasting less hot water.
Injet technologySo how do Ecocamel shower heads work to give you a real power shower while actually using less water?The Design Creating a water efficient, powerful shower head was a huge challenge that took us thousands of hours of designing and testing before the first models came off our production line. Put simply, air is forced into the water stream through a small hole at the base of the handle. When the water and air mix, this mixture spins around at high speed causing turbulence which increases the pressure inside the shower head. This forces the water out of the head with all the power of a conventional shower, but uses up to 45% less water. A Better Shower An Ecocamel Injet shower has a distinct advantage over its ordinary rivals. The water droplets that are produced are much lighter and softer so they burst really easily on the skin to soak you much more efficiently without splashing everywhere. Normal droplets just bounce off you so you have to use more water to get you wet. And if you’re using more water, you’re not saving money. |
Test Results
Our claims are all backed by the most rigorous testing to make sure we meet the strictest water efficiency criteria.
Independent testing at Liverpool John Moores University demonstrated average water savings of 40% compared to standard shower heads. This translates to a saving of around 56,000 litres of water a year, based on a family of four taking a daily seven-minute shower.
