Does Quench consume more energy to operate than a conventional shower?
Conventional showers rely upon either gas or electric hot water heating systems to supply hot water. These heaters are supplied inlet water that can range from 1 C (33.8F) during winter months through to 25 C ( 77F) during summer months, this water requires heating and therefore energy is consumed. It takes 1 Calorie to heat 1 gram (0.0353oz) of water to 1 C (33.8F). No matter the energy source eg: electricity, gas, solar etc… the formula remains the same. The Quench shower system incorporates it’s very own water heating system to ensure efficient, accurate temperature control throughout the Auto-Mode operation. This unique heating circuit may save around 87% energy consumption when compared to a conventional shower operation for the same showering time. Because the water that is being heated by the Quench heating system during Auto-Mode is being drawn directly from the reservoir in the shower base, the water is already pre-heated and requires significantly less energy to raise the w
