Duso: a leaner, smarter approach to leisure- centre showers
^ D esigning shower systems for
leisure centres is about more than just choosing the shower model.
Behind every fi tting, a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is essential to maintain safe water temperatures and reliable performance. With the Duŝo sport shower column, Horne combines robust product design with system-level thinking to make that coordination simple. Resource effi ciency – A compact footprint, off-site assembly,
fewer components
and lighter material inventory reduce environmental impact and simplify installation. Water & energy saving – Timed shut-off, integral fl ow regulation and a shorter mixed- water dead-leg minimise wastage of re- cooled water between shower sessions, while lowering overall water consumption. Smarter installation – Three Duŝo can be supplied from a single upstream Horne 15 TMV, reducing hardware and simplifying
Planned preventative maintenance becomes quicker and more achievable, helping leisure operators avoid costly reactive failures. Horne’s valve sizing tool is also available to assist design teams in selecting the optimal confi guration and performance – a feature that may particularly appeal to architectural technologists and building services engineers. Built for reality – Rather than multiplying hardware for marginal gain, the Duŝo is engineered to balance user safety, operational effi ciency and long-term durability in real- world leisure facilities.
maintenance. For larger installations, the higher-capacity Horne 20 can feed six Duŝo columns simultaneously, making back-to- back layouts across male and female changing rooms especially effi cient. Lower lifecycle cost – Fewer TMVs mean fewer service visits, spares and replacements.

Cistermiser delivers enhanced water control effi ciency for Radisson RED upgrade
A major bathroom refurbishment at the Radisson RED London Heathrow has been completed with signifi cant improvements in water effi ciency, hygiene and user experience – supported by the specifi cation of Cistermiser infrared sensor taps and urinal control solutions. The £2 million transformation of the hotel’s 250 bathrooms focused on maximising sustainability and long-term cost savings without compromising guest comfort. Cistermiser’s proven washroom water management technology played a key role in achieving these objectives. Cistermiser’s Sensazone and Infrared Taps were specifi ed to replace dated manual fi ttings in all en-suite bathrooms. The Sensazone system controls the water supply to each washroom area using ceiling-mounted PIR motion sensors, activating water only when the space is occupied. Complementing the Sensazone units are Cistermiser’s mains-fed infrared sensor taps, which were selected for their durability, low-maintenance design, and instant hands-free activation. In addition to the en-suite upgrades, Cistermiser’s Easyfl ush Direct urinal control valves were installed in the hotel’s communal washroom areas.
