Moen Introduces First Multi-Function, Water-EFFICIENT Rainshower

New Envi™ Rainshower Provides Unique, Self-Pressurizing Experience

While Reducing Water Usage by 20 Percent

North Olmsted, Ohio…Looking for a rain-drenching experience that won’t drain precious natural resources – or your wallet? Look no further than the multi-function Envi™ Eco-Performance Rainshower showerhead from Moen. This new water-efficientrainshower is the first eco-performance rainshower showerhead from Moen and features its innovative Immersion™ technology – a self-pressurizing system that increases the force and flow of water delivery.

This new eight-inch rainshower offers a flow rate of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm), 20 percent less than the industry standard of 2.5 gpm, and contributes to the earning of valuable LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points. The showerhead also offers multiple settings to satisfy every type of shower user, while maintaining the same level of performance consumers have come to expect from Moen.

“With a typical rainshower – even a full-flow model – consumers may experience a ‘drooping’ water pattern – similar to what you might see from a watering can,” said Mike Reffner, group product manager, Moen. “Envi’s Immersion technology eliminates that drooping effect, allowing users to get the water pressure they desire, while saving water.”

Beyond providing pressurized water flow and eco-friendly performance, the Envi Rainshoweris adjustable, allowing consumers to personalize their shower experience. The showerhead has a convenient lever to adjust the water delivery from the spray nozzles. For a more powerful shower, the flow can be concentrated into 30 nozzles for a revitalizing rinse; whereas for a softer shower, the flow can be expanded to as many as 100 nozzles, delivering a rain drenching experience.

Unlike some low-flow showerheads that simply restrict the water flow, the Envi Rainshower showerhead preserves the powerful stream that consumers are accustomed to from full-flow rainshowers. Moen’s Immersion technology actually increases the velocity of the water streams hitting the body, treating users to a full, satisfying spray that feels like the flow of a standard 2.5 gpm rainshower.

Moen uses the science of biomimicry, exploring nature-inspired innovation, to create the most “naturally efficient” spray coverage possible on the Envi Rainshower. This showerhead features Fibonacci-inspired, spiral-shaped nozzle patterns to provide full-body coverage that envelops the user in invigorating body sprays, no matter what the spray setting.

The oversized Envi Eco-Performance Rainshower is available in popular finishes, including Chrome and LifeShine® Brushed Nickel, to coordinate with bathroom faucets and accessories.
