Yes, it does! RainStick continuously adds a tiny amount of heated fresh house-supplied water while in operation. This refreshes each cycle and maintains the desired water temperature.

Learn how RainStick works by visiting the How It Works section on our website.

The beauty of RainStick is that it saves 80% of water with each use while offering a full-coverage rainshower experience.

To give an example, a traditional 10-minute shower using a regular shower fixture with a standard flow rate of 10 litres per minute (or 2.5 gallons per minute) will use 100 litres (26 gallons) of water. When you use RainStick in the same duration, it only uses 20-litres (5 gallons) of water at an increased flow rate of 14-litres per minute (or 3.0 gallons per minute).

While we recommend using WiFi in order to take advantage of the many features available on the RainStick app, the system can be fully operated without WiFi. When fully used with the suggested WiFi connection and RainsStick App, you have the ability to access:

- Remote software updates

- Descaler replacement cycles

- Customizable settings (water temperature, shower mode, deep clean timer)

- Performance tracking

- Water and Energy Savings Tracking

A power connection is required to operate a RainStick; similar to a standard home that uses a modern electric or gas water heater which both require electricity.

As of now, RainStick does not work in bathtub configurations. We look forward to introducing new shower installations in the future.

We have optimized RainStick’s technology to cleanse circulating water in three stages:

1. A micron-level screen catches large debris such as hair and dirt.

2. A small amount of hot water is continuously supplied to refresh
the loop and maintain the desired water temperature

3. A high-intensity UV LED kills 99.99% of exposed germs and bacteria.

RainStick can also be used in traditional, low flow 6.8 Litres per minute (or 1.8 Gallons per minute), shower mode.

RainStick is not a greywater system and you will never be using someone else’s water. RainStick only uses fresh supplied water at the start of each use and no water is stored in between uses. At the end of each shower, an automated cleaning session starts to guarantee that each new use is hygienic. This also prevents hard water from forming and keeps the built-in UV LED optimized. 

A timer for when this cleaning session starts can be scheduled on the RainStick Shower App with 45, 60, or 90-second delay start time options.
