Overview of water-saving shower systems

Water is an important and necessary source that provides life on the entire planet. It is necessary for trees, plants and various grain and vegetable crops. Of course, a person cannot do without it. But water resources are limited, so it's important to start conserving water, especially when showering. To do this, water-saving technologies of shower systems have been developed that allow rational use of water.

Until 1992, conventional shower systems dispensed between 25 and 40 liters of water per minute. Even if a person takes a shower in less than four minutes, this is a very large amount of water. Modern showers must meet the standard of no more than 11 liters per minute. Water-saving models consume from 9 to 6 liters, which gives huge savings.

Portioned push shower set with faucet, rigid column and Presto Alpa S shower head

Presto Alpa S 35168 - This is an average price shower set. In this version, a watering can with a diameter of 20 cm with a rigid stand 1.2 m long is installed directly to the mixer itself, from where water is supplied. At the exit, the user receives a “tropical shower” pressure. This method of water supply is similar to real tropical rain, due to the fact that the drops come out larger than usual, are closer to each other, and have a certain interval. Such a shower has a massaging property, and a relaxing effect.

The entire shower system is made of brass and chrome plated. The material has a sufficiently high corrosion protection, and also has high strength. This indicator is important, provided that the water pressure is high enough, and the mixer can withstand water hammer. Also, brass is not afraid of temperature changes, which allows it to withstand heat treatment up to 75 ° C. Under harsh conditions, a shower made of brass material can last from 5 to 10 years.

The principle of operation lies in the portion-pressure valve, due to which the water consumption is saved. To turn on the feed, you must press the button, which will return to its original position after 30 seconds. The valve is equipped with a special system S, it prevents blocking. Water consumption is about 6 liters per minute, which is significantly lower than a conventional shower, which can consume up to 25 liters.

The faucet with a diameter of 130 mm is a portion-pressure valve that is built into the wall. This greatly compensates for the lack of space, and also protects against mechanical damage. It has a high degree of protection against water hammer, is made of brass alloy, and can withstand temperatures of 75 degrees. To the riser, the mixer is fastened with two nuts. The water supply is dosed through a return system. The flow rate is about 8 liters per minute at a pressure of 5 bar and the delivery time is 20 to 30 seconds. Thanks to the pressure system of the mixer and the built-in aerator, at a pressure of 3 bar, the water supply can be reduced to 6 liters.

• Water consumption control: Save up to 70%. Adjustment of flow rate and time delay according to needs. The limiter is preset at 10 l/min.
• Anti-vandal installation: System of fastening with protection against opening. The non-rotating handle eliminates the risk of premature wear.
• Reliability and performance: The wear-free, self-cleaning device guarantees longevity. Internal parts are coated with polyacetal for high corrosion and scale resistance. Built-in water hammer protection: closing the valve with a gradual decrease in water flow. Unrivaled durability (NF/CSTB certified).
• Comfort and aesthetics: Simple and modern design that can be adapted to any type of environment. Constant flow rate for maximum user comfort.
• Operating pressure and flow: 1 to 6 bar, average flow 8 liters per minute.

Portion push shower panel with mixer SAWY NPS01MT

The shower panel is the most unusual system in its appearance. It is customary to install such panels if there is not enough space for a bath or shower. Some people prefer these panels because of their minimalistic design to create an unusual interior.
