# Water-Recycling Showers The Hamwell e-Shower Collects and Recycles Used Shower Water By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-12-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eshower References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2015/12/07/hamwells-e-shower/) & [hamwells](https://www.hamwells.com/e-shower) The e-Shower is a high-tech and [eco-friendly showering solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showerhead-design) constructed by a Dutch startup called Hamwells. What's incredible about this showering system is the fact that it [recycles water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s10-ultra-robot-vacuum). Water that collects at the bottom of the shower tray is connected by the system which then [filters it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rorra-filtered-showerhead), warms it up to an acceptable temperature and pumps it out through the top system again. A single droplet of water can be recycled up to seven times before being discarded for good, with no more than 15 liters of fresh hot water added to each cycle. Ultimately, this means the e-Shower can result in an 80 percent reduction in electricity use and 90 percent decrease in the amount of water used. Considering the current dearth of energy resources, the e-Shower could go a long way towards rethinking the way we shower so as to make things more eco-friendly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Water-recycling Showers:** The Hamwell e-Shower recycles water, leading to reduced electricity use and water consumption. ### Where This Applies - **Sustainable Technology:** The e-Shower represents an opportunity for sustainable technology companies to develop innovative water-recycling solutions. - **Green Building:** The e-Shower can contribute to eco-friendly building practices by reducing water waste in showers. - **Smart Home:** The e-Shower's high-tech features make it a potential disruptor in the smart home industry, offering both water conservation and energy efficiency benefits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instantaneous Hot Water Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heau-shower.md) - [Water-Saving Bathroom Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergvattnet.md) - [WiFi-Enabled Circular Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circular-shower.md) - [Accessible Shower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-showers.md) - [Pressure-Sensitive Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shower-concept.md) - [Water-Saving Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu.md) - [Fully Integrated Smart Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-shower-head.md) - [Self-Powered Shower Heads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ung-water-enhancer.md) - [Air-Induction Showerheads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohlers-statement-ves.md)
