Project Summary
First Light Cycle Studio have been forward-thinking in everything they do from the moment the idea was thought up. Because of this, they needed a specification to match.
The installation of Kelda Technology shower systems ensures that customers are given the best possible shower experience, as Kelda Showers are scientifically validated to improve spray force by 2.0X.
The environmental impact of showering is also halved, as only half the water is being used.
The Kelda Technology System also decreased the chances of Legionella spread in this commercial environment by six times, as proven by independent studies and validated by Dr T. Makin, advisor to the Department of Health, UK Government.
Our approach
Kelda Technology is the pioneer of innovative water-saving showers. With superior power to a traditional shower, Kelda’s air-powered showers satisfy expectations of both high performance, efficiency and environmental integrity.
By applying innovative technology, Kelda can offer a shower solution that, for the first time, can help significantly reduce water and energy consumption, and in the process reduce carbon emissions. And all of this is done without sacrificing user experience.
Installation
The First Light Cycle Studio was specifically designed to the highest standard and to fit the equipment within it.
As such, the shower cubicles were designed with rear access voids. This allowed for rear access void systems to be installed and incorporated with the client’s choice of infrared valve and water control system, with only a shower head and sensor visible to the customer.
The flow rate on the showers at First Light has been set at 6 litres per minute. The Kelda Technology Shower System features our SMART Control Hub, incorporating a digital microprocessor and fan that controls and propels the optimum flow of water and air to the patented shower head.
Within the innovative shower head, water is injected into the air and accelerated out of one of 5 jet-type nozzles, creating a spray (with perfect droplet size). This means users of the showers at First Light will experience a spray force equivalent to a flow rate of 12.0 litres per minute.
