Up to 40 percent! That’s the reduction we’re talking about. In addition, the ecoturbino® adapter directly results in a resource-saving reduction in water consumption and wastewater. Speaking of health; ecoturbino® also provides support every time it’s used. By continuously cleaning the shower hose and showerhead while showering and draining after the shower – to prevent the formation of biofilm and legionella as much as possible.
About one third of total water consumption at home, in hotels, and in sports facilities is due to showering and personal care alone – a significant amount of water. So, how about if one could reduce the costs of water, wastewater, and electricity consumption for hot water in this area?
Perhaps, like us, you’ve already tried various “water consumption reducers” or experienced them in gyms, indoor pools, etc. These usually reduce the pressure by increasing resistance in flow rate or use showerheads with tiny openings, leading to fine jets and also increasing flow resistance.
These solutions sometimes work not too badly, but they all have something in common. Showering isn’t as enjoyable and the feeling on the skin is different. In short, the pleasant shower experience is unfortunately missing.
ecoturbino® | the Original, is truly a solution for a genuine shower pleasure while achieving a dramatic reduction. A special turbine design inside creates a highly turbulent water/air mixture.
Thanks to this engineering marvel, from the very first use, immediate and ongoing savings on shower costs are achieved. This means approximately 40 percent of water, wastewater, and hot water production (electricity, gas, oil, etc.) costs are reduced without diminishing the intensity of the shower spray on the skin.
A medical report confirms compliance with all necessary hygiene standards for unrestricted use in challenging environments such as hospitals or nursing homes, or healthcare facilities in general.
The question is not “IF” but “WHEN” an ecoturbino is in use at your home? Right?
And how do we know? Because we’ve experienced it firsthand!

Legionella are widespread environmental bacteria that naturally occur in low concentrations in surface water. Therefore, they are also present in drinking water and consequently found in drinking water distribution systems and in drinking water installations.
The proliferation of Legionella as potential pathogens in drinking water (building) installations only occurs under suitable conditions, especially in warm or stagnant (standing) drinking water. Ideal conditions for proliferation are water temperatures ranging from about 25 °C to 45 °C (typical bathroom temperatures).
In the shower area of the bathroom, the water typically REMAINS in the shower head and hose at the ideal temperature range – perfect for the proliferation of Legionella and germs within.
Although Legionella can also exist in cool water, their proliferation at temperatures below 20 °C is negligible.
The health of individuals can be at risk if a high number of Legionella enter the lungs. This risk exists when fine mist containing Legionella (also referred to as aerosols) is inhaled. Such aerosols can, for instance, be produced during showering.
Caution is particularly necessary when water is produced in the form of mist, be it while showering, bathing, or even from faucets in other areas such as the kitchen sink.
The consequences of such contact with Legionella can range from Pontiac Fever, an acute feverish infection without pneumonia, to severe pneumonia (known as Legionnaires’ disease). The latter is so severe that in most cases it requires hospitalization.
Those particularly at risk include individuals over 60 years of age, smokers, those with specific underlying diseases like diabetes mellitus or chronic heart/lung diseases, and individuals with weakened immune systems. However, there is no risk when drinking water is used for consumption or food preparation. Additionally, person-to-person transmission of Legionella is not a concern.
Therefore, it can be said: When water remains in inactive hot water pipes (water stands) and is not drained, exchanging the water in all pipes and components of the hot water area regularly requires increased time and particular care.
The regular, hygienic cleaning, to prevent the rapid formation of Legionella and germs (biofilm) within shower hoses and showerheads, involves a lot of effort. Thanks to the ecoturbino water-draining function, this effort is now a thing of the past.
ecoturbino reduces water consumption by 40% by integrating air into the water flow.
By intentionally adding about 40% air through the air intake hole, tiny air bubbles are “incorporated” into the water flow.
Although the water jet feels just as strong when showering as it did before installing the ecoturbino, there’s 40% less water in the water jets.
For optimal operation, the ecoturbino requires a flow rate of +8 liters per minute prior to installation. In showers with already low water flow (e.g., low pressure or calcified shower head), the air cannot be optimally “incorporated”.
If you look down at the shower drain, you will visually notice: Yes, it’s true, definitely less water.

The ECOTURBINO is screwed onto the fitting before the shower hose – quickly and easily.
Through a narrowing of the diameter in the form of a funnel, the water is greatly accelerated.
This creates a vacuum, causing air to be drawn in through a bypass and mixed with the water.
The volume of the strongly swirled, air-enriched water is thus increased.
Yes, you read that right. With ecoturbino® L (in the Legio variant), the shower head is completely emptied, as is most of the shower hose, when the showering pleasure is over through the air intake hole, actively protecting against contamination in the shower hose and shower head.
Where no water remains, lime can deposit much more difficultly.
It’s that simple. Additionally, this emptying prevents the formation of Legionella, an important point regarding hygiene.
The strong swirling of the water with added air reduces deposits and biofilm in the shower system.
