Tamis à microns
RainStick est équipé d'un filtre de 200 microns qui élimine tout ce qui est plus gros qu'un grain de sable. Les cheveux, les gravillons et les autres particules de saleté sont piégés dans le tamis, ce qui constitue la première étape du processus de nettoyage de RainStick.
Ce filtre peut être facilement retiré et nettoyé en enlevant manuellement la saleté ou en le rinçant sous le robinet, de la même manière que les collecteurs d'eaux usées standard.
La LED UV à haute intensité tue 99,99 % des bactéries et des virus.
Le processus de nettoyage de RainStick améliore l'hygiène de l'eau grâce au traitement UV et au rafraîchissement en temps réel, ainsi qu'à l'auto-nettoyage automatique après chaque séance de douche à l'aide du produit de nettoyage original de RainStick. Ce processus permet d'éliminer 99,99 % des bactéries et des virus, y compris les bactéries les plus nocives comme la légionelle.
RainStick a été testé de manière approfondie par un laboratoire accrédité ISO et a reçu la mention "Extrêmement hygiénique".
RainStick Shower FAQs
Using The Shower
Does RainStick heat the water as it is circulated?
Yes, it does! RainStick continuously adds a tiny amount of heated fresh house-supplied water while in operation. This refreshes each cycle and maintains the desired water temperature.
I usually turn off the tap between shampooing and soaping to conserve water. Will I no longer have to do this with my RainStick?
The beauty of RainStick is that it saves 80% of water with each use while offering a full-coverage rainshower experience. To give an example, a traditional 10-minute shower using a regular shower fixture with a standard flow rate of 10 litres per minute (or 2.5 gallons per minute) will use 100 litres (26 gallons) of water. When you use RainStick in the same duration, it only uses 20-litres (5 gallons) of water at an increased flow rate of 14-litres per minute (or 3.0 gallons per minute).
Do I have to use WiFi to use RainStick?
While we recommend using WiFi in order to take advantage of the many features available on the RainStick app, the system can be fully operated without WiFi. When fully used with the suggested WiFi connection and RainsStick App, you have the ability to access: - Remote software updates - Descaler replacement cycles - Customizable settings (water temperature, shower mode, deep clean timer) - Performance tracking - Water and Energy Savings Tracking
What happens if the power goes off?
A power connection is required to operate a RainStick; similar to a standard home that uses a modern electric or gas water heater which both require electricity.
Certified Hygiene
How does RainStick clean the water in real time?
We have optimized RainStick’s technology to cleanse circulating water in three stages: 1. A micron-level screen catches large debris such as hair and dirt. 2. A small amount of hot water is continuously supplied to refresh the loop and maintain the desired water temperature 3. A high-intensity UV LED kills 99.99% of exposed germs and bacteria. RainStick can also be used in traditional, low flow 6.8 Litres per minute (or 1.8 Gallons per minute), shower mode.
Does RainStick use greywater or Am I using someone else's water?
RainStick is not a greywater system and you will never be using someone else’s water. RainStick only uses fresh supplied water at the start of each use and no water is stored in between uses. At the end of each shower, an automated cleaning session starts to guarantee that each new use is hygienic. This also prevents hard water from forming and keeps the built-in UV LED optimized. A timer for when this cleaning session starts can be scheduled on the RainStick Shower App with 45, 60, or 90-second delay start time options.
