This shower cuts water use while doubling flow to help tackle water scarcity

This video is part of: Centre for Urban Transformation

The RainStick Shower uses up to 80% less water and energy. It sucks up water from the shower pan, sanitising it on the way back up in a 3-step cleaning process. It removes 99.99% of exposed bacteria and ensures zero transfer between users. Each drop of water is reused 6 times, and fresh water is added all the time to refresh the flow and maintain temperature.
