Every summer, the same reality asserts itself: our water resources are coming under increasing strain.
Droughts, usage restrictions, groundwater level monitoring… Recent years have shown just how precious and fragile water is. These events also prompt us to take a fresh look at our daily habits.
At home, we sometimes use drinking water without actually needing to. This is particularly the case when taking a shower: several liters can run before the water reaches the desired temperature.
GLOOP offers a solution to this waste with a shower cold-water collector. The accessory allows this water to be collected before it goes down the drain.
Why collect the cold shower water?
Before taking a shower, 4 to 7 liters of water can flow out before the water reaches the right temperature.
This water is clean, yet we generally send it straight down the drain. However, it can still be used for many household purposes.
Rather than seeking to eliminate this wait time with increasingly sophisticated solutions, GLOOP opts for a simpler approach: capturing the water that is already flowing.
How does the GLOOP shower cold water recovery system work?
It works simply. You just place the showerhead into GLOOP. The accessory then directs the cold water into a collection container. Once the water reaches the right temperature, simply remove the showerhead and take your shower.
You can then use the collected water to water plants, clean floors, flush toilets, or for other uses suitable for non-potable water.
No plumbing modifications required. No pump. No tank to install.
GLOOP sticks to the essentials: a small accessory that captures water that would otherwise have gone down the drain.
Lightweight design to meet the essentials
We sought a lightweight solution, using minimal material and requiring no special installation.
This approach addresses a specific moment in daily life without adding a complex system to the shower.
An accessory designed not to put strain on the hose.
GLOOP features a 360° rotating turret. This allows you to position the shower head in the holder without forcing the hose into a specific curve.
GLOOP is available for 100 mm and 110 mm spouts and screws onto a collection container.
Once the container is full, you can easily reuse the water for various non-potable purposes.
Reuse water instead of letting it go to waste.
Waste less drinking water. Reuse it better. Make better use of it.
Periods of drought make this issue particularly urgent. However, water conservation should not become a concern only when restrictions are imposed.
Shortages make the urgency visible for a few weeks each year. It is up to us to derive solutions from them that can be integrated into our daily routines all year round.
