“I am enjoying the shower and was surprised with the volume of water that your mind tells you is coming out of the nozzle. Yet I know that I am using less as now my whole family can shower and there is still hot water left over in the geyser which never happened before.”

Jannie – CPT

“The shower is great. Pressure here was always a problem but is no longer an issue – plus whatever savings will occur long term. My family has a cottage near Cape Agulhas and I will definitely be getting one for there!”

Some of you have seen my posts of how much energy efficient showerheads can save you and how wonderful they are but I thought it is time to show you what they look like.

 

 

As you can see they are beautifully designed. There are other designs available, all of which including details can be found at my website – www.urban-solar.co.za.

 

Not only do they look great but they work in a way that no other shower heads work at a lower litres per minute flow rate than usual.

As water enters the base of the showerhead, it is propelled through an accelerator fin to increase the velocity of the water flow. It is then directed through a channel where oxygen is injected into water. The result – Phenomenal coverage and a continuous range of sensations – from a soft relaxing spray to a deep, therapeutic massage to everything in between. Are you ready to be wowed? Get ready for a healthy, powerful, oxygenated spray!

 The single orifice design of Oxygenics® showerheads coupled with internal components made of non-stick Delrin® are no match against common “shower cloggers.” There isn’t a calcium deposit or sediment that will stand in the way. 

By using Delrin®, we are able to offer you a great shower, everytime. Say goodbye to clogged showers and constant cleaning. Oxygenics® is virtually maintenance free!

The Oxygenics® system uses patented technology to continually introduce air into the shower water creating a powerful oxygenated spray. In fact, Oxygenics® can increase oxygen content in your water up to 10 times! The skin is the largest organ in the body. It breathes and when oxygen is introduced to the skin, the skin will absorb the necessary oxygen it desires.
 
Oxygenics® uses less water overall, but since it plumps each drop with oxygen, you won’t notice the difference. This allows for your water bill and energy bill (because you are heating less water) to drop dramatically. The average family can save up to R3,500 per year based on 2009 prices – more in following years!

The average household’s electric geyser consumes between 40% & 60% of total household consumption. The electric geyser is the single biggest user of electricity in the household.

Electricity costs have risen rapidly and will only continue to do so. Urban electricity costs per unit equate to approximately R0.77 per kWh if one factors in VAT & service fees (check your receipt next time), in fact 24% of every R1 you spend on purchasing electricity goes to VAT & Service Fees.

 

According to the latest reports (click here) Eskom is requesting 40% hikes in both 2010 and 2011. When this happens it will push electricity to R1.50 per kWh – nearly double the current prices.

 

 

Our system will displace on average around 10 kWh per day, electricity that would have been used from the grid is now being produced in your home. This will result in 2009 daily savings of R7.70, totalling R2818.20 over the entire year.

 

With the anticipated tariff increases in April 2010 of 40%, these figures jump to R10.78 daily and R3945.48 annually. The below table highlights the rapid increase in electricity tariffs and the associated costs of running an electric geyser since 2007.

So the graph above is based on a R500 per month electricity at current 2009 prices. So the blue bars represents what you are paying now, have paid in the past and will pay in the future with continued use of an electric geyser.

 

The Red Bars highlight what your monthly electricity costs would be if you were using a solar water heating system given the 10 kwh daily displacement discussed above.

We have modelled the expected 40% increases for 2010 & 2011 to give some indication of where electricity costs are headed. At these levels expected system pay back is around 3.5 years.
