Getting from Nature; Saving Nature
O3+ addresses the global freshwater crisis by creating a sustainable shower system that minimizes water consumption while enhancing the user experience. Inspired by the abundance and antibacterial properties of ozone, this system recycles used water into clean, heated water for repeated use during a shower, promoting both indulgence and resource conservation.
How It Works:
User Activation: The process begins when the shower is turned on.
Water Collection: Used water flows from the shower tub into a hidden tank within the wall.
Vapor Recovery: Steam generated during the shower is captured and routed to the tank.
Ozone Sterilization: Ozone sterilizes the collected water, eliminating bacteria and impurities.
Filtration: The sterilized water is further purified through advanced filters.
Heating: Purified water is heated to the desired temperature for reuse.
Refill: Any lost water is replenished from the main supply.
Why Ozone?
Ozone is abundant, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Its antibacterial properties make it ideal for water sterilization without harming the planet.
Impact:
O3+ combines sustainability with luxury, proving that resource conservation can coexist with comfort. This innovative design exemplifies how technology inspired by nature can contribute to a sustainable future.
