| Running cost comparison Based on Meridian Energy's 24hr tariff October 2010 |
|
|---|---|
| Mains Pressure - Old type shower head | |
| 2 seconds to fill a 1 litre jug | = 30 litres per minute x 7 minute showers |
| = 210 litres 50% split hot and cold | |
| = 105 litres hot water @ 0.08 kW of electricity to heat 1 litre | |
| = 8.4 kW x unit cost (19.66 cents - Meridian controlled) | |
| = $1.65 per shower | |
| Energy Efficient shower head | |
| 9 seconds to fill a 1 litre jug | = 6.66 litres per minute x 7 minute shower |
| = 46.66 litres 50% split hot and cold | |
| = 23.33 litres hot water @ 0.08 kW of electricity to heat 1 litre | |
| = 1.86 kW x 19.66 cents | |
| = 36 cents per shower | |
| That is a saving of $38.70 per month ($1.29 per shower x 30 per month). | |
| Low Pressure - Old type shower head | |
