New Award-Winning Shower System

Medi-ShowerTM is a patented new anti-microbial and water-saving shower head and hose from award-winning manufacturer Multishower GB Ltd.

Medi-ShowerTM is a complete anti-microbial system designed specifically for healthcare facilities, which has already received an award for Best Technology Product from the Royal Irish Architectural Institute in Dublin at their annual expo. Medi-ShowerTM has Biomaster Silver Ion Technology built into the complete product at the point of its manufacture, which is incorporated throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The Questor Centre at Queen’s University, Belfast, tested the Multishower GB Ltd shower head for limescale and bacteria, comparing their product to shower heads that delivered the water jet through small holes. Prior to delivery to the Questor Centre, two of each of the shower heads had been trialled over an eight week period in homes in a hard water area in County Laois in which at least two adults reside. Following the trial, one of each of the shower heads was analysed for build-up of limescale, while samples of the other were obtained and examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). These samples were compared with the clean shower head samples.

Limescale analysis of the Multishower GB Ltd head showed a small increase in Calcium content to 0.6 milligrams/kg. The traditional shower head showed a large increase in Calcium content to a figure of 143 milligrams/kg. SEM microscopy gave an indication of the degree to which the shower heads became colonised by micro-organisms. At a magnification of 10000x, two bacterial cells were observed with the sample taken from a Multishower GB Ltd head and 27 cells were observed in the sample taken from the traditional shower head i.e. there were 13.5 times more bacteria in it than the Multishower GB Ltd head. The result implies that bacteria are significantly less likely to colonise a Multishower head than their competitor.
