Shower

When there's something that we're trying to conserve, we don't just put it down the drain. For those of us who are trying to save power, however, that's just what happens when we let hot water from our showers run straight into the sewer. The EcoDrain is made to address that problem.

Orbital Systems is developing a new household shower that recycles any water that goes down the drain by purifying it and sending it back to the shower head. By the company's estimations, its system could save over 90 percent of the water and 80 percent of the energy consumed by an ordinary shower.

After a day spent hiking, biking, climbing or otherwise exerting yourself outdoors, a shower sure feels nice. That's why Colorado native Joel Cotton created the Road Shower. It's a pressurized water tank that mounts on your roof rack, allowing you to grab a quick shower beside your car.

There are few things that most of us like better than a long, hot shower, but they sure use up a lot of water and power. That’s why the Uji illuminated shower head was created. It gradually changes from green to red while in use, letting users know when it’s time to get out.

The Viteo Shower is a portable outdoor shower unit that turns outdoor shower design on its head by pushing jets of water from the base up and over its user. The pressure-sensitive base unit means you simply step onto the non-slip base to start the shower running.

The Oxijet is an "air shower" that feels like it's at full pressure while using 50 percent less water.

Kohler's Moxie is a shower head with an integrated Bluetooth speaker, for listening to music while you shower.

Washit is a concept design for one unit that washes both a person and their laundry simultaneously using the same water.

The Horizontal Shower features an array of six “Water Bar” showerheads built into a horizontal platform that is attached to the wall, with another platform below on which to recline.

The Nemo Helio Pressure Shower is a light, packable presurized shower for the outdoors.

At next week's CES, iDevices will unveil the iShower water-resistant Bluetooth speaker for Apple and Android devices.

The H2O Power radio generates its own operating power via the force of the running water from your shower.
