Bathroom and kitchen fittings brand Grohe announced its recycling shower – Everstream – will hit the market in Spring 2024, at its recent Grohe X summit.

In addition, Grohe is aiming to have all its concealed showers water-recycling-ready by 2030.

Grohe unveiled the recycling shower concept in 2020 and the Everstream shower system is now being field tested, with an installers’ training programme expected to start in the second half of 2023.

It reportedly uses a quarter of the water and a third of the energy typically required by traditional showers.

This translates into a cost-saving of up to 65% a year for a four-person household and up to 70% fewer CO2 emissions, depending on individual shower habits.

Everstream divides the shower process into three parts, first starting with fresh water and when finished with shampoo and soap, it can be switched to save.

The water collected in the drain after switching is pumped into a circuit, maintaining the temperature, and hygienically treating the water for the next user.

Leader, Lixil EMENA Jonas Brennwald commented: “Last summer in Europe was one of the driest on record.

“Water scarcity is affecting us all and it is our responsibility as a water-technology provider to offer solutions that allow consumers to make a difference.

“Implementing water-recirculating technology in our Grohe portfolio elevates our offering to a new sustainable benchmark and is a milestone for our entire organisation.”

Leader electronics and innovation R&D fittings at Lixil International David Mainka added: “It is our mission to provide state-of-the-art technologies for using water resources sustainably while also creating additional environmental value for water.

“As we strive towards a circular economy, circularity can also play a much bigger role within our products themselves.

“Grohe Everstream takes our technology to the next level. We are looking forward to the results of our field-testing of the product, to fine tune it for market launch in 2024.”
