Enviroflow Solutions has unveiled a new anti-bacterial, water-saving shower head.
Designed to protect against bacteria and viruses, the Ag+ shower head is said to be ideally suited to health clubs.
It is also a water-saving product which is claimed to cut water and energy bills by up to 50 per cent without impacting performance.
The Ag+ works by using fragments of silver within the plastic to repel any form of bacteria from forming on the surface of the shower head.
The risk of Legionella is also reduced since the Ag+ is a volumising shower head, where the centre part of every droplet of water is replaced by air. This makes the water droplets larger than average and consequently difficult to inhale.
Water is also emptied from the shower head via a small hole used for the aeration process, rather than being retained in the head to become stagnant.
Simply screwing into an existing shower fixture, the Ag+ is easy to install and maintain. Maintenance requirements are further lowered because of the volumising and scouring action of the water within the shower head. This automatically reduces the build-up of scale and bacteria, which means less cleaning or chlorinating is required.
The Ag+ can be customised according to specific requirements, such as corporate colours, subject to a minimum order of 5,000 units.
