TEST RESULTS
The Norwegian Building Institute, renowned Scandinavia innovations testing Institute, tested the Nordic Shower ( orginally termed Multishower ) at its four different pattern formats against the four other showerhead types - the traditional flow, restricted low flow and two models using aeration.
The showerheads were laboratory tested for the following performance criteria -
- LOW RATE
- SKIN IMPACT PRESSURE
- TEMPERATURE RETENTION FROM HEAD TO FEET
- RINSING TIME OF SET AREA OF WATER BASED PAINT
- SHOWER JET COVERAGE / DISTRIBUTION
- SHOWER CONE DIAMETER
From these test, caluculations were made on
- ENERGY CONSUMPTION (flow rate, temperature retention and rinsing effectiveness)
and
- COMFORT LEVEL ( body impact pressure, temperature retention and body coverage)
Findings The interaction between these two results were examined and MULTISHOWER was rated to have the No 1 leading balance of ENERGY & WATER EFFICIENCY against COMFORT LEVEL by a margin of 22% against the next rated eco shower techology.
Another interesting finding was that the MULTISHOWER POWERSHOWER @ 9 L/ min was found to have the equivalent comfort of a traditional flow of 19L/min.
