Want to save water and avoid clogs? Try iBuee’s solid metal showerhead with patented mist technology

Story

What is the iBuee and why is it going to kick up a Rainstorm?

The ibuée is a revolutionary shower head that combines the refreshment of showering in a rainstorm while saving water that helps the planet. It’s a combination of our passion for innovation, quality parts, and a new approach. You don’t have to choose between a miserable water-conserving shower and lathering up with the shower turned off and a full, luxury shower with a sense of guilt. They say Archimedes had his Eureka moment in the bath; we had ours in the shower. Not all of us, though – there are three of us, so we wouldn’t have fit! ?

We wanted to create a storm in the world of bathrooms, so we created Rainstorm a shower head designed to give you great shower vibes with big raindrop-sized droplets.

iBuee RainStorm Shower Head

ibuée revolutionary single nozzle design turns uniform misting droplets into a full cone spray experience, all whilst reducing water consumption by up to 50%.

Patented Misting Technology

Unique misting technology provides a steady supply of giant, uniform water droplets. 

Millions of large droplets from a single large nozzle

Large droplets even at low flow rates make a big impression.

Based in Texas our team appreciates how precious water is and how it can’t be wasted. But as Texans, we also love innovative can-do solutions to big problems, we’re on a mission to make a real impact and do our part in promoting sustainability and water conservation. Our showerhead is the fulfilment of our vision We believe we can make the world a better place one shower at a time. Aaron and I met at college, when you put three great innovative minds together something wonderful going to happen. In our case the answer to the question, how can you have a great shower and save the planet?

Growing up, I was always taught about the importance of conserving water. My mother would frequently turn off the shower to save water while lathering up, and I remember thinking it was a bit of a hassle. But it wasn’t until I became an engineer and learned about the global water crisis that I truly understood the significance of water conservation.

Every day billions of gallons of water are wasted through inefficient showerheads. That’s why we developed the iBuee misting technology, which makes shower droplets bigger and more efficient. With the help of my team of engineers, I’ve been able to bring my vision to life. Our solid metal showerhead uses patented technology to generate a fine mist of large water droplets while reducing the flow rate of water, resulting in a significant reduction in water usage. With our design, you’ll be able to enjoy a powerful shower with raindrop-sized droplets while using only half the amount of water compared to a traditional showerhead.

I’m proud of what we’ve created, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world. I believe that small changes can add up to make a big difference, and I’m confident that our showerhead will have a real impact on the environment.

I’m passionate about sustainability and environmental protection, and I’m excited to be leading a team of engineers with a collective vision of saving the world and saving your day one shower at a time.

We don’t just to give you the best shower of your life whilst cleaning your conscience. We want you to be part of our team and we welcome your advice and input.

 

How did we perfect the design?

It started with a simple idea, standing in the rain in Texas is a rare and refreshing privilege why can’t every morning start this way? A simple idea that took years of innovation and research to achieve the answer. To create a patented showerhead solution that helps save up to 50% water while providing an enhanced showering experience with strong large water droplets that feel like a refreshing rain storm. The innovative technology features a large nozzle design that won’t get clogged, so your shower is always as dynamic as you are.

Risks & Challenges

Manufacturing always presents challenges. We’re working closely with experienced and trusted partners to bring our design to life and don’t foresee any manufacturing or distribution issues. Of course, with anything new, there are unexpected and new problems, but we’ve planned extensively. We’ve invested in building great relationships with all of our contractors and suppliers.

Our primary engineering challenge has been perfecting the fluid pathways and nozzles to achieve this balance. Though manufacturing the complex arm has posed some difficulties, we and our partners believe we have surmounted them.

As such there is a possible risk of delay but beyond that, we feel we can iBuee in your bathroom on schedule.
