Nebia, a Shower Head Startup, Received funding from Tim Cook of Apple and claims 70% water savings


Almost, everyone prefers showers over baths.
In an average, showers are typically third largest water use after toilets and cloth washers. The average American shower uses 17.2 gallons (65.1 liters) and lasts for 8.2 minutes at an average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute.
And, yes millions of gallons of water and  lots of energy is wasted daily by using the shower head.


But, This startup has re-engineered the showerhead to be radically efficient in conserving both water and heat, without sacrificing comfort.
The unique shower system uses atomizing technology, originally developed for jet engines, to turn water into a fine mist. The shower wets more thoroughly and in a larger area, while using 70% less water than a typical shower.
The average shower takes 20 gallons of water, Nebia said its product used six gallons.


Nebia also helps you conserve energy. Traditional household showers consume markedly more energy than a Nebia just to heat the water and the majority of that hot water goes straight down the drain. Nebia is 13 times more efficient at delivering the heat you pay for to your body, making your daily shower in a Nebia 13 times more thermally efficient. The combination of Nebia’s water and energy savings translates to lower monthly utility bills.

The Nebia sensation stays with you long after you leave your shower. For hours after finishing your shower, you feel rejuvenated. Your skin feels cleansed and refreshed. Your hair shines. Your muscles relax. There is no better way to start your day.
You all would be wondering that will it be able to rinse your hair: Yes, it does rinse your hair.

Nebia has tested prototypes of the shower head with the students, employees, and customers of Equinox Gyms, Google, Apple, and Stanford University.
The Nebia shower launched a campaign on Kickstarter in August 2015 and raised over $3M in one month. Also, Nebia has declined to say that how much fund did it received from Tim Cook and the company Apple told that Mr. Cook’s stake in the start-up was a personal investment.
