The Design

About 50 Liters Cap de dutxa

50 Litres és un cap de dutxa dissenyat per fer visible el consum d'aigua durant el bany. Un dipòsit de plàstic transparent s'ubica al centre del cos de coure refinat. L'aigua s'injecta al dipòsit en proporció directa a l'aigua que surt del cap de dutxa, de manera que l'escala marcada mostra el consum en temps real. Un dipòsit ple indica que l'ús ha superat els cinquanta litres. Un degradat blau al dipòsit suggereix que els recursos es redueixen quan les dutxes són llargues. El dipòsit es buida a través d'un forat a la part inferior quan es tanca la dutxa. No es necessita electricitat.

Unique Properties: The purpose of this design is to cultivate people's awareness of liquid saving, and reasonable control of bathing time. This shower head presents real-time feedback on the amount of it used in the shower, which means as the amount of water used in the shower is increasing，its amount in the storage tank increases. The storage tank is marked with a water volume, which when filled indicates that the consumption has exceeded fifty liters. The gradual blue bar means that when too much liquid is used, the resource will soon be exhausted.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 85mmx Depth 38mm x Height 240mm

Production Technology: The shower head is made of refined copper with a clear plastic storage tank in the middle. The connection between the bottom of the storage tank and the shower head is provided with water holes. By adjusting the specification of the injection hole of the storage tank to control the direct ratio between the water injected volume of storage and the yield of shower head.
Design Challenge: The challenge we encountered was to add a water tank in the middle of the shower and make it in the shower tank reflect the bathing consumption accurately. Through continuous prototype testing, we adjusted the size of the water inlet of the shower tank to form the correct proportion between the injection and the output of the shower.
Research: Through investigation, we found that many people take too long showers and do not realize that the daily waste of water caused by this habit is huge, so we decided to design a shower itself to make people realize the waste of liquid caused by daily showers and develop the habit of saving it.
Inspiration: Sometimes people spend too much time in the shower, causing a lot of unnecessary waste unconsciously. The reason is that people are not well aware of the loss of water resources. So I want to incorporate something like a thermometer into the shower. When the its consumption increasing too high like a thermometer, it reminds you that you need to make a change in using it.
Project Duration: This concept project was started in June 2019 in Guangzhou. It was completed in Guangzhou Huashang college in January 2020 and exhibited in Guangzhou Huashang college, China in January 2020.
Operation Flow: At the beginning of the bath, water will be injected into the storage tank . This is direct ratio by the shower head, and the consumption is informed to the user through the scale of the storage tank in real time. When the tank is full, it represents the user's consumption has exceeded 50 liters. When the shower head is closed, it will also flow out through the hole at the bottom. The whole process does not require electricity.
