Are you looking for a way to reduce your environmental footprint while still enjoying a luxurious shower experience? Look no further than eco-friendly showers that help save water!  Making the switch to an eco-friendly shower today is effortless, but most importantly helps play a small part in preserving this precious commodity while creating a better planet for future generations.
As we approach Water Saving Week, here at The Bathroom Showroom, we understand the importance of doing all we can to help protect the environment. So, we consider just why eco-friendly showers are so beneficial in the fight against water shortage while highlighting three of our most fantastic models to help homeowners do their bit.

What Are the Benefits of Eco-Friendly Showers?

Choosing an eco-friendly shower offers two compelling reasons to switch in an effort to actively benefit both your wallet and the planet:
Water Conservation: One of the most significant benefits of eco-friendly showers is their ability to conserve water. These showers are designed to use less water without sacrificing water pressure, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing shower while reducing your overall water consumption.
Eco-friendly showers, particularly those with low-flow showerheads, significantly limit the amount of water used per minute. Some can reduce water consumption by as much as 40-60% compared to traditional showerheads. And, by using less water, you contribute to the conservation of local water supplies and help combat the growing issue of water scarcity.
Energy Efficiency: In addition to saving water, eco-friendly showers are also energy-efficient. Many of these showers are equipped with features such as low-flow aerators and energy-efficient heating elements, reducing the amount of energy required to heat the water.

How Do Eco-Friendly Showers Work?

Eco-friendly showers achieve water savings through various innovative technologies and design features. Some common features found in eco-friendly showers include:
  1. Low-Flow Showerheads: These showerheads are designed to restrict the flow of water while maintaining adequate water pressure, allowing you to shower comfortably while using less water.
  2. Water Saving Modes: Many eco-friendly showers come with adjustable settings that allow you to customise the water flow to suit your preferences. This feature helps further reduce water consumption without compromising on your shower experience.
  3. Recirculation Systems: Some eco-friendly showers are equipped with recirculation systems that reuse water from previous showers, reducing water wastage and promoting sustainability.

Best Eco-Friendly Showers From The Bathroom Showroom

The Bathroom Showroom is proud to offer a wonderful selection of showers offering various eco-friendly properties.  Here we break down the eco-friendly aspects of the Ceratherm Alu+, Hansgrohe Vernis Shape, and Grohe Tempesta models:
Ceratherm Alu+ stands out for its 84% use of recycled material construction, making it an environmentally conscious choice in terms of embodied energy and resource use. Chrome, Lead, and Nickel Free, the materials in this shower are better for water purity and beneficial for individuals with sensitivities.
Along with multi-spray functions for potential water saving, this shower uses flow regulator technology. Therefore, the Ceratherm Alu+ is designed to save water without compromising comfort. This means it restricts the water flow to a more efficient rate.
Hansgrohe Vernis Shape is highly water-efficient and specifically designed to reduce water consumption without compromising shower comfort.  
With EcoSmart technology integrated into the Vernis Shape range, this limits the flow rate without sacrificing spray performance by aerating the water. This can significantly reduce water and energy consumption as less hot water is used.  
Hansgrohe's AirPower technology mixes air into the water, making the droplets fuller and lighter thus creating a more voluminous shower experience while using less water. And, the QuickClean feature easily removes limescale buildup by wiping silicone nozzles to help maintain optimal performance and potentially water flow efficiency over time. 
Grohe Tempesta shower heads and systems incorporate Grohe EcoJoy technology. This feature limits the water flow rate without compromising the shower's performance so you still get a good spray, but with significantly less water consumption.
With Grohe DreamSpray, this technology focuses on an even distribution of water across all nozzles for an optimal spray pattern, which can contribute to a satisfying shower even with potentially lower flow. Efficient spray patterns mean you feel like you're getting good coverage without needing excessive water.
What's more, with Grohe’s SpeedClean element, this anti-limescale system helps maintain optimal spray performance and water efficiency.  

Efficient Eco-Friendly Showers Increase Water Heater Lifespan

Ultimately, by selecting an eco-friendly shower, you’ll use less hot water, therefore reducing the workload on your water heater. This can potentially extend its lifespan while delaying the need for costly replacements.
Overall, choosing an eco-friendly shower is a simple yet impactful way to live more sustainably, save money in the long run, and contribute to the well-being of the environment. Yet, it’s possible to do all this without sacrificing comfort and luxury for a guilt-free shower experience every time.
