The pawnbroker Erika Martetschläger GesmbH equips all SOS Children's Villages facilities in Austria with innovative environmental technology. The donated Ecoturbino water and energy savers will be installed in the showers, enabling the children's aid organization to save around 27 million liters of water per year, saving 170,000 euros per year and reducingCO2 emissions by 360 tonnes. The devices were supplied by the Rabmer Group, which is participating in the donation campaign.
Saving water and energy not only protects the environment, but also your wallet. It pays off to save water in the bathroom in particular. Around a third of the total water consumption in households, hotels and sports facilities is used for showers and personal hygiene alone. Due to the current energy crisis, the cost of heating water is also rising, making even constant consumption more expensive.
Innovative solutions are needed to save money, water and energy without compromising on comfort and hygiene. The pawnbroker Erika Martetschläger GesmbH is now equipping the Austrian branches of SOS Children's Villages with one such solution - ECOTURBINO technology from Rabmer. The quarters in Vienna Floridsdorf, Hinterbrühl and Pinkafeld made the start, and now the children's aid organization is being supplied with water-saving mini-turbines throughout Austria.
"Especially in times of crisis, it is extremely important to support charitable projects," explains Karin Meier-Martetschläger, Managing Partner of Pfandleihanstalt. "We are delighted that our donation will enable the SOS Children's Villages facilities to drastically reduce their water consumption and operating costs - freeing up the annual funds for other investments. In addition, the children's aid organization saves energy sustainably with the ECOTURBINOS and reduces its pollutant emissions. As I am committed to the principle of 'helping people to help themselves' in my donations, I find this project particularly sustainable in both senses of the word."
600 showers save 27 million liters of water a year
On December 22, the ECOTURBINOS were handed over to other SOS Children's Villages in Austria. Erwin Roßmann, Head of the SOS Children's Village Vienna, accepted the water and energy savers at the SOS Children's Village Vienna. "We are very grateful for the generous donation! Over the next few months, ECOTURBINOS will be installed in over 600 showers in SOS Children's Villages throughout Austria. That will add up to a lot of water and operating costs."
"With 600 showers equipped with the ECOTURBINO system, the non-profit organization will save around 27 million liters of water and 170,000 euros in operating costs per year. At the same time, this measure will reduceCO2 emissions by 360 tons over the same period and thus also promote climate protection. I am delighted that this donation campaign is a win-win situation for both the children and the environment," explains Rabmer Managing Director Ulrike Rabmer-Koller.
How the ECOTURBINO works
The ECOTURBINO is quick and easy to install - the device is screwed directly onto the fitting in front of the shower hose. A test is carried out in advance by the Rabmer Group to ensure that the devices are working properly and to calculate the expected savings.
A strong cross-sectional constriction in the ECOTURBINO allows only part of the water to pass into the shower hose. A patented technology creates a swirling mixture of water and air in the appliance. This hits the shower head at high speed and ensures a high water jet intensity despite low water consumption. The ECOTURBINO therefore allows you to save water without compromising on showering comfort.
