How can we save water? How can we reduce energy costs? Many hotels use low-flow shower heads to reduce water consumption. However, this only makes sense if there is enough water pressure - otherwise a weary trickle comes out of the shower head, which is not acceptable for guests.
A current project at the 4* Falkensteiner Hotel & Asia Spa in Leoben shows that even more savings are possible - with the help of the ECOTURBINO® water-saving system. This can be individually adapted to the respective water flow rate thanks to different designs. But let's start from the beginning:
After detailed consultations, an initial practical test was carried out directly on site with hotel director Wolfgang Tesch; the Rabmer team of experts was able to convincingly demonstrate how water consumption could be reduced again without weakening the water jet from the shower.
The initial skepticism disappeared when the result was clear: We were able to reduce the water volume by another 30% to 7 liters per minute without negatively affecting the water jet intensity.
As a result, five hotel rooms were fitted with ECOTURBINO® on a trial basis to determine whether there was any feedback or complaints from hotel guests. However, there were no complaints here either - and in August 2016, the entire hotel was fitted with ECOTURBINO®.
In the following months, water consumption in the hotel was closely monitored and compared with the previous year's figures. The result confirmed the assumptions made previously - by reducing shower water consumption by a further 30%, total water consumption in the hotel was reduced by around 10%.
A fine example of how extremely well the ECOTURBINO® water-saving system works!
