Effi cient shower systems for sports and leisure facilities
H
orne’s Duŝo shower column offers a streamlined,
resource-effi cient
approach to communal shower provision in sports and leisure facilities, education environments and other high-use wet facilities.
Designed as a compact, pre-plumbed shower column, the Duŝo neatly combines the shower control and hydraulic actuation within a single vertical unit. Pre-assembled and tested under controlled factory conditions, its fi nal installation can be planned, costed and delivered more predictably on site. This approach reduces installation time and cost through minimising
pipework,
fi ttings/connections and wall penetrations typically associated with conventional multi- shower installations. The Duŝo’s compact footprint is enabled by its hydraulically simple design that supports an effi cient water system layout. By shortening the mixed-water dead-leg and incorporating timed shut-off (60 or 30 second cartridge)
with integrated fl ow regulation (8 L/min), the Duŝo helps reduce both water consumption and the energy required to heat it. System effi ciency can be further enhanced
by supplying pre-mixed warm water to a group of Duŝo columns from a single thermostatic mixing valve (TMV). Up to three Duŝo can be supplied from a single Horne 15 TMV, while the higher-capacity Horne 20 can feed up to six outlets simultaneously. Reducing the number of mixing valves simplifi es pipework layouts, lowers capital costs and reduces ongoing maintenance requirements. To support ‘group’ system design, Horne provides a useful valve sizing calculator, helping architectural technologists and building services engineers determine the optimal capacity thermostatic valve for a given number of shower heads.
Durability and ease of maintenance are central to all Horne designs. A protective inlet strainer helps safeguard performance and can be easily cleaned during routine servicing,
while the availability of low-cost spare parts supports long service life and optimised whole-life value. Duŝo BIM models and product data are available on NBS Source, enabling straightforward integration within digital specifi cation platforms such as NBS Chorus and Revit.

Reduce showering costs and impact
Recoup Waste Water Heat Recovery for Showers (WWHRS) saves up to 60% of the energy per shower use. Shower heat energy goes down the drain, WWHRS extracts that energy using it to preheat cold water that feeds the shower and/or water heater.
This signifi cantly reduces hot water demand, saving money, energy and emissions. No user interaction, no planned maintenance, no change to shower experience. Recoup has a WWHRS solution for any shower space.
