Eco-friendly showers from Quench
Australian company Quench Solutions has just released the Quench Shower system, said to be the world's first recirculating shower.
Using only 4ltr/1 gallon of water, the system provides a long, hot powerful shower which - once the user has soaped up, washed and rinsed - is followed by fresh, clean shower water recirculating for as long as is needed.
The recirculated water is temperature controlled at the touch of a button and once the shower is over the entire system is automatically flushed with sanitiser and fresh water.
The Quench Shower is reported to offer savings of up to 82 per cent on water usage and 87 per cent on energy when compared with a normal shower.
It's available in both a pre-moulded cubicle or custom designed for anyone wanting to construct their own tiled shower room. A variety of shower heads and fixtures are available.
Quench is distributed and supported in the UK by Spa Vision of Corsham, Wiltshire and is said by them to be ideal for eco projects or any environmentally friendly organisation.
