Product Information

While their primary function is quite simple, there are multiple types of shower nozzle and depending on your criteria - be it value, space or function- it’s important to consider the full variety of shower components before making your choice. The challenge in using these parts was that they weren't designed to create an environment of human comfort.

Contemporary shower styles often feature a sleek, slim shower head in either a square or circular style. I found a water temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius to be sufficient for thermal comfort, but a mist shower in winter may require a higher water temperature, so let’s assume a value of 60 degrees to calculate the energy use of my 5-nozzle mist shower.These shower heads use between four and nine litres of water per minute, roughly half the flow rate of a normal shower (ten to fifteen litres per minute).

And we’re not talking about wall-mounted controls either – a growing number of shower heads have headset controls, making it ridiculously easy to fine-tune your shower power. As the name suggests fixed shower nozzles leave no room for manoeuvre, which makes targeted showering near impossible.

Jonas Görgen, a young designer who graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2019, became fascinated by the history of the mist shower and decided to build one himself. Deliveries must be checked as soon as they are delivered as any damages or shortages must be reported within 48 hours for us to be able to arrange replacement items. This is a conservative calculation: these data do not include the showers taken outside the home, for example in the gym. Fortunately, if that’s the situation in your household, you may not have to replace the whole shower.

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation.A pre-installed eco function means you’ll use 50 per cent less water than with a standard shower head (but trust us, you won’t notice the difference) and it was incredibly easy to connect to our existing shower hose. That’s because other Dutch people have upgraded to rain showers, which have a water flow of about 25 litres per minute – double that of a normal shower head, and three times more than what a low flow shower head uses. As the device's design matured, the team decided they could make a greater environmental impact if they sold the water-saving shower head as a beautifully designed consumer home appliance.

So, let’s see what happens when we decrease the number of nozzles, still assuming average shower frequency and duration. Apart from washing less often, using oils and creams(ALL over, and even while still damp) protects skin. The shower is often presented as a more sustainable option than the bath, because the latter is said to use more water. For five nozzles, I measured a water flow of two litres per minute, which is five times less than my now obsolete shower head (ten litres per minute) and 12. The mist shower, a satisfying but forgotten technology which uses very little water and energy, could be a solution.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Unfortunately your recommended water temperatures would present an obstacle in the USA, where we have been told that any temperature above 49C will strip the flesh right off of your bones. This absolutely is a Legonella risk -and I should know as I spent a week in hospital with it and a three month recovery period afterwards - caught from inhaling water droplets from a modern and well equipped marina shower while on a sailing trip. You walk in and immediately you're wet—you don't have to step into the stream and move your body around this wide surface area, but you're still immediately wet. I catch this clean flush water in a bucket to wash my daily underwear, then use that soapy water to mop the floor and then finally to flush the toilet.
