Vision

2

Our vision is to design and craft aspirational yet 
practical water conservation solutions that eliminate 
shower water wastage without compromising the 
shower experience.

We understand that enjoying a quality shower is an 
important part of our daily routine. This experience 
should not be marred by ineffective attempts to save 
water, or feelings of guilt with your hand under the 
shower while watching litres of water being wasted 
down the drain until the hot water arrives.

Triton Xerophyte

The Triton Xerophyte has been designed to 
incorporate innovative water conservation features, 
while at the same time delivering outstanding 
performance for the best possible shower 
experience.
