Free Water Measuring bag to Calculate Your Savings

With the following 3 steps, you will determine your personal water consumption while showering. Have the measuring bag and a stopwatch (phone app) ready!

Fill the Measuring Bag with Water

Turn the tap on fully and fill the bag with water for 10 seconds. If you’re doing this filling with your shower hose, remove the shower-head from the hose beforehand.

Read the Water Quantity

Read the liter indication of the filled water on the bag to determine the water flow in liters per minute.

Calculate Personal Savings Potential

Now fill in the calculator on this page with your data. In section 3. Costs, it is essential to select the correct energy source for your hot water. You can input the local energy and water values in the calculator.

Optional Steps

  • Repeat this process with the tap of the sink as well.
  • Try a 10-second bag filling with the attached shower-head. If you don’t have a water-saving showerhead, the filling amount in the bag should be identical.
  • Test the shower spray intensity with your palm and remember it for a later comparison, along with the ecoturbino® shower adapter.

Ecoturbino® CAN do more, Much more + available in 4 colors!

Permanent cost reduction is more important today than ever before and would already be completely sufficient. However, the performance potential of the shower adapter encompasses much, much more.

  • Continuous emptying of standing water in the shower hose: Standing water in the hose is drained out after a refreshing shower through the open port in the ecoturbino. This actively prevents limescale buildup in the showerhead and shower hose.
  • Maximum reduction of Legionella and other Bacteria: Due to the emptied showerhead and hose, there’s a greatly reduced chance of harmful legionella forming. Bacteria, Germs and the typical biofilm on the showerhead are prevented. This was a significant reason why ecoturbino received the approval for use in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. (healthcare sector).
  • Turbulent water flow from turbine in the shower hose ensures hygiene: The continuous production of turbulent water-air mixture in the hose and showerhead cleans these parts from the inside during each shower. This greatly enhances hygiene and reduces the cleaning effort to a minimum.

Intelligently Reducing Shower Costs | Not just reducing water flow, resulting in poor performance and shower quality!

Where conventional water-saving shower-heads hit problematic limits due to pure water reduction, causing reduced shower pleasure (less water!), calcification, and hygiene issues – that’s where ecoturbino starts to show its power, or in other words, begins to flex its muscles.
