[Clean and Green]

Bathroom brand GROHE has revealed details of its water-recycling shower GROHE Everstream, expected to be available to customers from Spring 2024.

The shower system is currently being field-tested and a training programme for installers is expected to start in the second half of 2023. In addition, the manufacturer is also aiming to have all GROHE concealed showers water-recycling-ready by 2030.

Everstream has been designed to create a high-quality showering experience while consuming as little fresh water as possible, as well as using less energy. GROHE says that its Everstream system uses as little as a quarter of the water and a third of the energy typically required by traditional showers, translating into a cost-saving of up to 65% a year for a four-person household and up to 70% fewer CO2 emissions, depending on individual shower habits.

The concept divides the shower process into three parts. First, users start the shower with fresh water, as with any regular shower. Once finished using the shampoo or soap, the user can switch mode; the water collected in the drain after switching is pumped into a circuit, maintaining the desired temperature, and hygienically treating the water. After use, cleaning takes place to prepare the shower for the next user.

David Mainka, Leader of Electronics and Innovation R&D Fittings at LIXIL International, said: “As we strive towards a circular economy, circularity can also play a much bigger role within our products themselves. GROHE Everstream takes our technology to the next level. We are looking forward to the results of our field-testing of the product, to fine tune it for market launch in 2024.” grohe.co.uk
