Older low flow shower heads simply restrict the flow of water coming out of your shower, this has lead some people to believe that all low flow shower heads are the same and produce an inferior shower experience.  It is important to note that the Methven Kiri Satinjet uses completely different technology to a normal shower. 

What technology you might ask? 

As the name suggests the technology is called Satinjet. Satinjet technology is based on the Venturi effect, where air is sucked in to the shower head through special breather holes to create large droplets of an air/water mixture with maximum surface area for minimum volume. The Satinjet head produces 150,000 of these droplets per minute.

So instead of most of the warm water simply flowing off your skin without imparting any warmth, as it does in a normal shower, the Satinjet covers your skin in a warm cloud of smaller droplets imparting maximum warmth to you even though the flow of water is much less than a regular shower.  In short the Methven Kiri Satinjet is much better and more efficient than a regular shower head, which has to drench you in water to get the same warming effect.

The optimum operating pressure for the Methven Kiri Satinjet  is 500kPa / 5bar. However the showerhead can operate as low as 150kPa / 1.5bar. Giving you plenty of flexibility.

Can I swap out my old showerhead for the Methven Kiri Satinjet Low Flow Showerhead?

In most instances yes absolutely. The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead comes with a half-inch 1/2" BSP connection which is very common amongst showerheads making swap-outs very easy.

A test to confirm if you can swap out a standard rose or not from an existing shower arm is if you can twist it off yourself.

If you can't twist the head/'rose' that probably indicates the existing shower rose is integrated into the arm.

In this instance you need the Rose plus arm (either modern arm, capstan or dual pivot arm).

See below an example of an old very inefficient 15-25 L/min integrated showerhead that would need a new Rose plus arm (unscrew the entire arm off the wall). The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow uses between 3-5x less water than those shower heads in the picture below, a huge water and energy saving opportunity.

You can choose any of our Methven 5.0L/min 5 star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead options from our website.

The cost to go off-grid will depend on your expected/anticipated energy demand. With knowledge of your energy demand we can then help you size your battery storage, solar PV, generator, microgrid inverter, etc.

It is worth noting that connecting a new block to the power grid can cost between $15,000 and $50,000 depending on the situation. And a typical energy bill for the average household is around $3000-$4000 per year (or higher in colder areas).  Given the cost of grid connection and supply, a well maintained and high quality off-grid system is likely to be cheaper in the long run (20 years +), depending on your particular situation (if grid connection is >$30,000 you can pretty much assume off-grid will be cheaper).

You want as large a rooftop solar PV system as you can fit on your roof to reduce the amount of time you need to rely on your backup generator  that may be required for periods during winter periods or times of low solar radiation (i.e. multiple cloudy days).

We generally recommend a minimum 10kW solar PV system, but the final size will depend on your anticipated load/demand. We can help you work this out by using our load profile sheet as part of our comprehensive quoting process.
