What Is the Puregreen Shower Water Saver?
Imagine showering just as long and feeling just as refreshed, but using half the water. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, that’s exactly what the Puregreen Shower Water Saver promises. This clever little device fits onto almost any shower fitting or shower head and cuts water usage by up to 50%. But here’s the kicker—it doesn’t compromise the shower experience at all. Thanks to a smart design that mixes air with water, the shower jet feels softer and even more invigorating. It’s like giving your shower a breath of fresh air, literally.
Main Benefits of Using the Shower Water Saver
Saving water is great, but the Puregreen Shower Water Saver brings a whole lot more to the table. Check out these key facts:
- Save up to 50% water, energy, and money every year.
- For a typical 3-person household, that’s about €550-600 saved annually on water and energy bills.
- Produced 100% in Germany, specifically in the Black Forest, ensuring quality and sustainability.
- Packaging made from 90% recycled materials, with ethical production standards—no exploitation or child labor.
- Uses a unique valve system that sucks in air through a side opening, enlarging the water surface and creating a soft, pleasant shower jet.
The Genius Behind the Technology
Unlike classic flow limiters that just restrict water flow, the Puregreen Water Saver uses a simple yet ingenious system inspired by the same principle that keeps airplanes in the sky. As water flows through the valve, air is sucked in through a lateral opening and mixed with the water. This process enlarges the water surface, which means you get a wider, softer shower jet without using more water. The result? You save up to half your water consumption but still enjoy the same, if not better, shower feeling. It’s a win-win.
Why Conscious Resource Use Matters
Water is a precious resource, and with climate change making it scarcer, every drop counts. If just 5% of Germans used this water saver, it could save enough water to fill Lake Chiemsee 6.5 times a year—that’s 13.5 billion liters! Beyond saving water, the device also cuts down on energy consumption since heating water is the second largest energy expense in households. So, using the Puregreen Shower Water Saver means less water wasted, less energy used, and a smaller carbon footprint. It’s about making smart choices without sacrificing comfort.
The Story Behind the Water Saver
The idea came from frustration—standing under a weak, pathetic water jet with traditional flow limiters just didn’t cut it. Karsten Gaedke, with years of experience in the sanitary trade, teamed up with Alexander Schulze to create a product that complements existing shower fittings instead of replacing them. They wanted something simple, effective, and sustainable. Their vision? To see the water saver in every household, not just in Germany but across Europe. It’s about making a real difference, one shower at a time.
