What is LOOP – A Sustainable Shower Solution?
LOOP from Flow Loop is an innovative shower solution designed to deliver a sustainable bathing experience that not only saves water but also drastically reduces energy and CO2 usage. The LOOP shower can be installed in most existing bathrooms in only 2 hours – with no need for extensive remodeling. It is a pioneering technology in sustainable water and energy solutions that has been thoroughly tested over the years – from large corporations and hotels, to schools – continuously exceeding expectations. The system uses recirculated water, ensuring both a high water flow of up to 12 liters per minute and the guarantee of excellent water quality. With an emphasis on conservation and economic efficiency, the LOOP shower truly redefines conventional shower standards.

Key benefits of the LOOP system include significant reductions in resource usage and overall cost. Some of the main figures and facts include:
- 70% energy savings
- 70% reduction in CO2 emissions
- 80% water savings
- Typical water usage drop: from 70-100 liters per conventional shower to only about 20 liters
- Cost saving of approximately €0.60 per shower – adding up to €864 per year for a family of four
Sustainability and Performance Tested for the Future
The LOOP shower has been rigorously evaluated for its environmental performance by renowned organizations like Niras, and its sustainability is further validated through comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reports. It is tested for environmental performance across many settings, ensuring that it meets high standards for eco-friendly living. Big names such as Novo Nordisk, Niras, and Maersk Line have embraced this technology, and its performance in maintaining sustainable water use has been proven time and again. It’s like enjoying a refreshing shower while feeling confident about contributing to a cleaner, greener planet…
Installation and Maintenance Made Simple
One of the appealing advantages of the LOOP shower lies in its ease of installation – most bathrooms can have this circulating system up and running in just 2 hours without any remodeling. In addition, there are retrofit solutions available that cater to various drain designs – whether circular, square, triangular, or linear. Maintenance is equally straightforward. The system is designed for minimal upkeep, requiring only occasional filter changes and basic system cleaning, making it hassle-free for long-term use.
Quality, Filtration, and Innovative Technology
The LOOP system stands out with its advanced technology that ensures outstanding water quality. The recirculating water undergoes a microfiltration and UV illumination process, eliminating 99.999% of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. This innovative solution, developed in close cooperation with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) since 2017, is verified by Eurofins, ensuring that users experience a safe and clean shower. The exclusive feature of not sharing water between users further supports the hygiene and quality that has brought a new level to everyday showering, without compromising the overall bathing experience.
Design, Flexibility, and Enhanced User Experience
The LOOP shower breaks conventional norms – no more rushing under the shower to save water. Instead, users enjoy a relaxing experience where efficiency meets comfort. This is a breath of fresh air for many who have been told to compromise on the bathing experience in the past. It offers a dual functionality; while users can embrace the innovative recirculation feature, there is also a manual option to turn it off, allowing the system to function as a traditional shower if preferred. Such design adaptability makes it a versatile solution for diverse households, regardless of their unique bathroom configurations.
