A six-person startup based out of San Francisco can now count the CEO
of the wealthiest company in the world as one of its early high-profile
investors. Apple head honcho Tim Cook has clearly been able to see the
potential in Nebia’s new water-efficient shower head technology
that promises to bring with it an iconic design mixed together with a
superior shower experience and projected water savings of up to
70-percent per shower taken. According to the product’s Kickstarter
page we’ve all taken a shower, but none of us have experienced Nebia.
The system itself is a self-installed shower system that comes
equipped with an adjustable bracket and a portable wand installation
that “showers you like never before”. Regardless of the actual
technology that powers this thing the terminology used in the marketing
spiel is enough to get our backing. Speaking of the science behind it;
Nebia is unique in the fact that it puts water through a process of
atomization that helps cover ten times more surface area than what is
dispensed by a regular shower system.
That increased surface area means more water makes contact with your
body, therefore offering cleaner, more hydrated skin all with the added
benefit of using significantly less water than a normal shower. Nebia’s
calculations and provided information suggests that the self-installed
system will utilize 70-percent less water per shower and when installed
in an average U.S. home, will pay for itself in under two years. It’s
not difficult to see why over 600 (at the time of writing) Kickstarter
members, as well as Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and a host of other
high-profile investors, have chosen to provide financial backing to
Nebia.
Nebia’s shower system has certainly been put through its paces at
some high-profile places of business prior to launching on Kickstarter.
The system has been tested by a variety of individuals at huge companies
like Google, Apple and Stanford University, as well as in a great
testing ground at Equinox Gyms. Tim Cook’s investment into the future of
the company appears to have come off his own back and has nothing to do
with Apple. There’s obviously something about this particular product
that appeals to Cook’s desire to conserve resources and save the planet
in the process. The shower system is expected to start shipping
somewhere in May next year.
