*Calculated savings based on annual household shower use (9 minute shower duration). Flow rates (typical) @ 16 L/min

power, 12 L/min mixer and 5 L/min Kelda (emulates skin pressure of power shower). Data based on UK averages

Kelda shower use compared with typical Power Shower* environmental challenge Using less water and energy can help overcome the practical and ecological challenges faced in many countries. Overstressed water resources and a reliance on polluting sources of energy have caused us to rethink our technologies to reduce waste and damaging emissions. Around 5% of the total greenhouse gases produced in the UK is attributable to the heating of water in the home, and a further 1% to water supply, collection and treatment (DEFRA 2008). Personal washing, which includes showering, accounts for a third of the water used in the home, and

this figure is rising. Consumers often equate high flow showers with better performance and this

influences their buying decisions, further compounding water availability and carbon emission issues.

environmental benefits & consumer savings Kelda technology generates premium showering performance with significant environmental benefits when used with a mixer shower installation or in place of a water pump. - Low flow rate results in significant savings for mixer showers where water supply is critical. - Less water is required to be supplied, treated & distributed. - Reduced requirement for energy generation. - Household carbon creation can be reduced by between 400-700kg annually. When added to an existing mixer shower system, or used in place of a power shower’s water pump, Kelda technology can provide an uncompromised showering experience at a reduced flow, even on low pressure systems, with savings of up to €320.00 on utility bills per household annually. annual savings Design by P.
