Evolve Technologies develops innovations that help people Enjoy More and Use Less. We’re a talented team of researchers, designers and engineers dedicated to delivering meaningful water, energy and utility savings without requiring behavior change or sacrifice.
Our core technology, ShowerStart, conveniently saves the water and energy used while waiting for the shower to become warm. With ShowerStart, a small thermostatic shut-off valve (TSV) is all that’s needed to save the resources most don’t even realize they’re wasting. Better still, conservation occurs without changing shower pressure, flow or even your morning routine.
ShowerStart Technology, available exclusively in evolve brand showerheads and bathing fixtures, receives strong support from utility companies and weatherization programs because it easily adds incremental savings to their conservation efforts. It’s also the only solution capable of cost-effectively combating shower based behavioral waste.
Behavioral waste occurs when bathers use their time comfortably and efficiently while waiting for hot water to reach the shower. Instead of patiently waiting for cold water to exit the showerhead most people leave to do something else. Typical activities include brushing teeth, using the washroom and picking out clothes. Because bathing only begins after the tasks have been completed, countless gallons of hot water are unintentionally wasted at the start of every shower.
