Case Study: Sustainable Renovation Project with Recirculating Shower technology
Just outside Vancouver, British Columbia, an eco-conscious couple in their 30s embarked on a mission to seamlessly integrate water and energy conservation into their daily lives. Their commitment made them pioneers in a groundbreaking project, incorporating RainStick, North America's first circular shower, into their home.
Why Choose a Recirculating Shower?
In an era where water scarcity and conservation take center stage, opting for a recirculating shower goes beyond personal preference—it's a conscious choice to address a broader environmental challenge. The average household in the United States consumes a staggering 320 gallons of water*, with a significant portion used in your bathroom.
Driven by their passion for water and energy conservation, the homeowners faced a dilemma. While adamant about reducing their environmental footprint, they were unwilling to compromise on the quality of their daily shower experience. This is where RainStick, the innovative recirculating shower, emerged as the perfect solution, aligning with their sustainability goals and addressing the broader issue of water scarcity.
The Pilot Project Overview
Tailored for both new builds and renovation projects, RainStick became the go-to choice for the discerning couple seeking a bathroom upgrade. Eager to revamp their master bathroom with a fresh aesthetic and a shower embodying sustainable living, the homeowners selected RainStick into their renovation plans as part of our pilot project. The installation was complemented with traditional floor and wall tiles. This harmonious blend not only enhanced the bathroom's visual appeal but also brought together contemporary technology and traditional design.
Impact and Results of the RainStick Pilot Project
Now, let's delve into the impact. The RainStick installation proved to be a game-changer, not just in terms of savings but in redefining the essence of a daily shower routine. Results are based on a 2-person single-family home, with a total average shower time per day of 24 minutes.
