Loopin filtering method
It's purpose is to be fully functional in a regular shower, so it filters out contamination and chemicals, of course only in reasonable use.
– Loopin has multiple filters.
– The first layer filters out impurities still visible to the eye.
– The second captures collagen-type impurities that are no longer visible to the eye.
– It is followed by an activated carbon filter, which binds the chemicals in the water.
– And after that there is another UV-C LED for disinfection.
– At the end there are the heating elements, which keep the water at the initial temperature.
With one full charge, how long can you use the device?
The shower time is dependent on the pressure and the heat settings.
– With medium pressure, minimal heating: 150-250 minutes
– With medium pressure, medium heating: 90-100 minutes
– With the highest pressure setting and the highest (maximum) heating: 40-50 minutes
How many times can you recharge the battery?
- The lifetime of the battery is more than 3000 cycles.
Do you have to change the filter?
– Only the activated charcoal filters need to be changed, the other filters can be simply cleaned.
– The replacement of the charcoal filter heavily depends on the amount and type of cleaning products used. Usually 1-6 months.
How frequently do you need to clean the filters?
– The filter located on the bottom of the pump system should be cleaned after every use as this is the main filter that prevents the larger pieces of contaminants like hair from passing through.
– The built-in, washable filter should be cleaned according to the amount of bodywash used, roughly every 1 to 10 uses.
Is the filtered water drinkable?
– No
How long do you have to charge the battery?
– The charging time is between 2 and 4 hours.
How much water do you need to operate the device?
– It depends on the size of the shower tray/the bath tub-about 5-10L of water should be enough. Water level should be high enough to cover the water level sign on the side of the device.
What temperature should the shower start with?
– The temperature should be set at the desired, or a little bit higher than desired temperature, so that Loopin will use less energy to heat the water.
How long does it take Loopin to heat the water if the water is cold?
– Starting the shower with cold water is not recommended as it requires a lot of energy to heat the water, unless the shower is taken cold.
Do you need to top up the water whilst showering?
– You will not need to add water to keep the system running, however you may wish to add hot water during a long shower to maintain the temperature.
What happens to the water left in the filters after use?
– After the shower, the water left in the filter will flow back into the shower base tray or the bottom of the bath tub, through the pump system.
Can I use Loopin with my own shower head?
– Yes, Loopin has a 1/2 inch hose connector which can connect to any 1/2 inch hose.
what are the calculations based on?
– The results are specified for 1 shower per day for 1 person.
– Heating 1 liter of water by 1 °C requires 1.16 Wh of energy.
– The temperature of the water is increased by 30 °C.
– The CO2 generated during the production of 1 kWh of electricity: 0.5675 kg.
– The CO2 released upon burning 1 m3 of gas: 1.8 kg.
– The water requirement of Loopin: 12 l/shower.
– The production and delivery of clean water: 2 kWh/m3.
– The CO2 released during wastewater treatment: 0.046575 kg/shower.
