Drought and high water consumption - ECOTURBINO provides a remedy
The ECOTURBINO from construction & greentech specialist Rabmer is a revolutionary water-saving technology that can be installed in just a few minutes and reduces water consumption by around 40%.
(Linz, 23.04.2020 ) The ongoing drought means that some regions are once again experiencing enormous water shortages this year. Hundreds of thousands of Austrians working from home, lockdown restrictions and frequent and prolonged hand washing under running water - COVID-19 and the measures to combat the spread of the virus are also causing water consumption in Austria to skyrocket. Careful use of water as a resource is therefore the order of the day. Showering alone consumes up to 80 liters per person per day. For a family of four, this amounts to over 2,000 liters of water consumption per week just for showering - so there is a huge potential for savings here. The use of conventional economy shower heads or flow restrictors has one major disadvantage: reducing the volume of water also significantly reduces the intensity of the shower jet and therefore shower comfort, which is why they are often not used or the duration of the shower is significantly longer.
A revolutionary development provides a remedy - the ECOTURBINO from the Rabmer Group in Altenberg, Upper Austria. The environmental technology specialist Rabmer offers a completely new technology with its water-saving innovation ECOTURBINO. "The ECOTURBINO is a small turbine that can be quickly and easily installed in any shower fitting and uses patented technology to generate a highly turbulent mixture of water and air. This saves around 40% water and energy without reducing the intensity of the shower jet. With our ECOTURBINO, everyone can easily save water, energy and costs while enjoying full showering comfort," explains Ulrike Rabmer-Koller, Managing Partner of the Rabmer Group.
In addition to the great financial savings potential - with the ECOTURBINO, a family of four can save around 240 euros per year in operating costs - this innovative water-saving system makes a significant contribution to environmental protection: if only 20% of the almost 3.9 million Austrian private households were equipped with the ECOTURBINO , an incredible 9.7 billion liters of drinking water, 124,700 tons of CO2 and 385.5 million kWh of energy could be saved every year!
As shower water is primarily hot water, the ECOTURBINO not only reduces enormous amounts of water, but also saves energy and subsequentlyCO2 thanks to the reduced hot water consumption. The ECOTURBINO has therefore also been certified by TÜV Austria as a suitable energy efficiency measure within the meaning of the Energy Efficiency Act and has been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel and the Energy Globe Award Upper Austria in the water category.
