How it works

To see this showerhead in action why not click to watch the video below! We’d like to thank the guys over at Green Gear for this video review which was posted on their blog. Alternatively scroll down the page for more technical info.

Water enters the patented VACUUM FLOW™ “booster” valve where it is aerated and compacted under pressure. Due to the intense force of the vacuum chamber, the aerated water “explodes” as it exits the showerhead, creating a powerful flow stream at a very low flow (4 l/min).

The performance benefits this process brings include:

Improved Shower Performance

The force created by the vacuum booster valve increases the shower stream flow impact intensity by 1.75x  over conventional low flow shower streams.

Savings in Water and Energy

By reducing the consumption of hot water, the patented aeration technology substantially lowers not only the water consumption, but also the energy costs in heating and pumping of the water.

Helps Solve Low Pressure Problems

The powerful release of the water from the vacuum chamber creates a pressure boosting effect, this counters the weak flow stream that accompanies low water pressure. (this process works from 1 bar upwards).

Reduces Scale

When water enters the vacuum chamber, the droplets are large and heavy. (undesirable in a flow stream). Under the intense vacuum force in the valve the water droplets are compacted and highly energised. As they then exit the vacuum chamber these smaller droplets both expand and vibrate rapidly. The combination of vibration, smaller droplets and increased velocity dramatically reduces the formation of mineral crystals on the surfaces of the showerhead.
