Smart eco-showers usinng nudges to change users behaviour
01.
Identification
Hydrao Aloé is a showerhead that allows for water and energy savings using nudge technology.
The device acts on two different levels to deliver tangible savings: 1) Mechanically through a flow-restrictor that lowers the flow of a normal eco-shower and 2) behaviorally through the colored-LED sequence that informs users in real-time about their water usage and "nudges" them to stop the shower when the light turns red and so take shorter showers. Hydrao Aloé's behavioral efficiency technology engages users at point-of-use, providing them with real-time relevant and actionable information. No battery is required as the natural water flow drives a turbine to power the LED and data connection.

Hostelling International USA, an American non-profit association with more than 30 hostels, will install the solution. It should reduce its water consumption by almost 4 million liters per year. LoRa Hydrao communicating showerheads monitor volume, temperature and water flow in real time. The device uses colored LEDs that change from green to red to educate users about their consumption.
HYDRAO: a new ecological and connected shower head to reduce your water consumption
HYDRAO shower heads use mono-jet or multi-jet technology with three positions (rain, massage and mixed) The maximum flow of showerheads is 6.6 liters per minute compared to 12 liters for standard showerheads. This corresponds to a water saving of 45 to 66%! The shower heads offer a color system to indicate the amount of water used.
