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

Turning off your shower in between suds is a smart and efficient way to conserve water - and we commend you for doing that! 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 fixture with a standard flow rate of 10 litres per minute (or 2.5 gallons per minute) will use 100 litres of water. When you use a RainStick in the same 10-minute duration, it will only use 15 litres of water at an increased flow rate of 14 litres per minute (or 3.0 gallons per minute).

While we recommend using RainStick with a 2.4 GHz WiFi network along with the RainStick Shower App, it can be fully operated alone. It can be used in its two modes (circulating or standard) for as long as it is connected to a power connection. It, however, will not have access to the amazing key features that RainStick has to offer when fully used with the suggested WiFi connection and RainsStick App:

- Remote software updates

- Descaler replacement cycles

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

- Performance tracking

- Water and Energy Savings Tracking

We encourage all of our customers to use the RainStick Shower with all its bells and whistles to ensure the best experience.

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

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 tiny amount of fresh hot water is added to refresh each circulation and maintain the desired water temperature.

3. A high-intensity UV LED disinfects water from any bacteria or viruses.

The RainStick shower can also be used in a standard, low flow 6.8 LPM (or 1.8 GPM), 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. 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 30, 60, or 90-second delay start time options.

For our 2022 launch, RainStick is available in Brushed Nickel and Matte Black finish.

Yes. For all enclosed showers, the standard recommended slope of the finished floor tile surface is 2% from each corner to the floor drain (in RainStick’s case, the catchment reservoir) in order for water to drain freely.

All of RainStick's plumbing components are contained within its system. Fresh hot/cold water supply and a GFCI-protected breaker
using a 16 AWG waterproof connector accessible within the shower enclosure is all that is required on the finished shower wall, prior to installation.

RainStick's shower system adheres to UL 1951 and is designed and manufactured to comply with ASME A112.18.1/CSA B-125.1, ASSE 1014, UL 1951

Absolutely! A slab-on-grade foundation will not be a problem for as long as the drainage in your shower enclosure can be positioned at the foot of the RainStick where the catchment reservoir is located. A 2% slope of the finished floor to the reservoir is needed to successfully drain water.

Yes, a water softener system will not affect the functionality of the RainStick.
