With up to 40% more water savings and 75% more force, Nebia Merced aims to accelerate water conservation by increasing mainstream adoption of sustainable showering.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Brondell, an innovator of sustainable kitchen and bathroom products in North America, releases its all-new Nebia Merced Showerhead line. Featuring patented Nebia spray technology, Merced is poised to appeal to consumers looking to conserve resources without sacrificing their shower experience. 

 

Nebia nozzle technology is on track to save 1 billion gallons of water in 2024.

Brondell’s Merced Showerheads provide up to 40% more water savings than standard 2.5 gpm showerheads and up to 75% more force when measured against EPA WaterSense performance specifications.

Water-saving—or “low-flow”—showers are known for providing unsatisfactory pressure. Merced is designed to stand apart, delivering more force than other sustainable showers on the market, helping homeowners and renters get an enjoyable shower while reducing water use and utility expenses.

“Leveraging Brondell’s state-of-the-art Nebia patented spray technology, our new Merced series provides a shower experience that’s both invigorating and sustainable,” says Brondell President, Steve Scheer. “Not only do our newest showerheads deliver powerful sprays, they do it while saving the world’s most precious resource: fresh water. We are incredibly proud to introduce this design-forward, sustainable technology into your bathroom.”

Each shower in the Merced lineup includes patented Nebia spray technology that atomizes water into millions of droplets for optimal warmth, pressure, and rinsing. Available in fixed, handheld, and premium double-docking versions with adjustable height, Merced delivers expansive, immersive sprays, a sustainable 1.5 gpm flow rate, and is easy to install on any shower arm without the need for a plumber. With three beautiful finish options—Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Matte Black—each shower in the Merced lineup is designed to fit the aesthetic of any bathroom.

Packed with exclusive features, Brondell’s premium Merced Handshower delivers convenience and luxury within a design-forward aesthetic. Its innovative HaloNetic Double Docking System offers two customizable mounting options to meet the height preferences of multiple users. Traditional docking makes showers more spacious while the secure, magnetic dock easily reduces spray height.

Additional top features include:

integrated Pause Mode reduces water flow at the push of a button for more water savingsadditional Matte Gold finish option

Merced’s stylish design, luxury features, and user-friendly setup make it a water-saving showerhead for the masses. With the Merced Handshowers’ 60-inch, stainless steel hose, there’s no such thing as a hard-to-reach place, while the SureGrip tab provides quick angle adjustments. All models include a broad, 5.3-inch diameter shower face, creating an invigorating, enveloping shower experience.

Easily select between five unique settings with the rotating face dial:

Hard Spray: offers the perfect balance of coverage and forcePower Spray: the highest pressure setting, delivered with less waterFocused Spray: provides deep, concentrated flows for tension reliefAngel Hair Spray: a soft, soothing showering experiencePause Mode: temporarily reduces flow while lathering, shaving, etc.

Amplified by climate change and population growth, water scarcity has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. The World Health Organization states that 40 percent of the world’s population experiences insufficient access to clean water.

With the release of Merced, Brondell continues to uphold its commitment to helping address the planet’s environmental issues. Based on unit sales and national flow rate averages, Brondell’s Nebia nozzle technology is on track to save 1 billion gallons of water in 2024—equal to 1515 Olympic-sized swimming pools—and 31 thousand tons of C02.

Brondell launched Merced at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas last week, and was a Best of KBIS finalist in the bathroom category. As a longtime show attendee, Brondell holds multiple KBIS awards, including the KBIS 30 Under 30 Award in the Wellness and Health Category in 2023, the Design Bites People’s Pick Award in 2022 and 2023, and more.

Brondell’s Nebia Merced Showerheads are available in-store at Home Depot Canada, online at Homedepot.com, Homedepot.ca, and Brondell.com starting at $39.99.

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise. Edge Price, Risk, and Proofs deliver meaningful and unmatched contextualized risk and price data for assets including stablecoins and other real-world-assets, in addition to the crypto assets and venues that provide access to them.”

Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”

Chaos Labs will receive the total investment in PYUSD on-chain. A simulation will be shown live on-stage on September 20th at the annual Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.
