Student Showers That Combine Comfort, Efficiency and Savings
Superior Showers That Save Water Without Compromising Comfort
Kelda’s Air-Powered™ technology provides student accommodation providers with shower solutions that reduce utility costs while enhancing the resident experience. Designed and manufactured in the UK, our showers deliver a superior shower experience using less water and energy, helping to lower carbon emissions and support more sustainable, cost-efficient operations.
iQ Kingston Trial
For the trial, 21 student rooms were selected to evaluate shower performance. Kelda’s data loggers were used to monitor the water consumption of the existing showers over one month, before installing Kelda’s Air-Powered™ showers for a further month to assess the improvements in efficiency and performance.
Process
-
Baseline Assessment: Audit the existing 21 conventional showers to establish the baseline flow rate.
-
Data Monitoring: Install Kelda’s data loggers on the 21 conventional showers for one month to record water usage.
-
Installation of Kelda Showers: Replace all 21 conventional showers with Kelda Air-Powered™ showers to evaluate improvements in efficiency and performance.
Results
-
Average shower duration: Conventional – 5m 20s | Kelda – 5m 35s
-
Average water consumption per shower: Conventional – 52 litres | Kelda – 27 litres
-
Net water saving: 48%
Despite a slightly longer average shower time, Kelda Air-Powered™ showers reduced water consumption by nearly half, demonstrating that student comfort and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Proven Results
Working with one of the UK’s largest student accommodation providers, Kelda Showers demonstrated that our Air-Powered™ showers use 50% less water compared to conventional showers, without increasing shower duration.
Located in the heart of town, iQ Kingston offers modern, high-quality student accommodation, requiring shower solutions that match the same standard of comfort, performance, and reliability.
iQ Student Accommodation invited Kelda to assess the water-saving potential of our innovative Air-Powered™ shower technology.
For the trial, 21 student rooms were selected. Kelda’s data loggers monitored the water consumption of the existing showers over one month, before installing Air-Powered™ showers for a further month to evaluate the improvements in efficiency and performance.
