Save water without even knowing it: Brondell’s new Nebia Merced Showerheads blend sustainability with optimal pressure

Published

on

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.

THE STATE OF GLOBAL OPTIMISM REVEALED BY LG IN NEW SURVEY

Published

on

By

Company Unveils the Biggest Topics of Global Optimism: Entertainment, AI and Healthcare.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — According to the latest research by LG Electronics (LG), 48 percent of consumers say they are more optimistic now than they were compared to six months ago.

The survey, conducted across 16 markets, provides extensive data on global optimism, its drivers and the demographics that feel the most optimistic and happy. The global average optimism score is 7.49/10. France, the UK and Australia were revealed to be among the least optimistic countries, scoring 14.5 percent below the average. Conversely, Saudi Arabia (12 percent above), India (10.8 percent above) and the UAE (8.1 percent above) were the most optimistic. Consumers were most optimistic about their personal growth and development (69 percent) and family dynamics (66 percent), but least optimistic about their finances.

Entertainment, including movies, TV, music and art, was identified as the most significant factor driving optimism (60 percent), followed by AI (56 percent). Less than half of the respondents chose social media (48 percent), while international crises such as war generated the least optimism.

LG conducted the survey to support and understand the nature of happiness, aligning with its brand philosophy, Life’s Good. The results are part of LG’s broader effort to assess the potential and influence of optimism globally, reflecting the company’s commitment to enhancing consumer optimism.

The survey also reveals key aspects of generational attitudes towards optimism. Optimism and happiness both decrease with age, although the latter was found to reduce at a slower rate. Interestingly, despite younger age groups averaging higher rates of happiness and optimism, individuals under 18 reported some of the lowest scores. Additionally, 50 percent of Gen Zs expressed that optimism can be harmful, the highest of any age group. This caution may be due to their life stage, as Gen Zs were twice as likely to disagree about having the tools needed to succeed (16 percent) compared to millennials.

The Role of Social Media

Younger age groups are more likely to search online for positive content and like-minded people to improve optimism. 86 percent of consumers say social media impacts their personal lives, more than those who believe it impacts society (67 percent). Gen Zs are also more likely to talk to a therapist, indulge in shopping or take drastic actions to counter negativity, such as deleting a social media account.

In contrast, older groups tend to seek offline comforts, such as spending time outdoors, seeing family or engaging in hobbies. Younger people appear more willing to seek external methods to boost optimism and happiness compared to their older counterparts.

Optimism your feed

“As a brand that is passionate about spreading optimism, we strive every day to be the most customer-focused we can possibly be.” said Kim Hyo-eun, vice president and head of LG’s Brand Management Division. “Consumers want tools to feed their optimism and belief in the future, and providing this is a key part of LG’s mission. That is why we launched our ‘Optimism your feed‘ campaign, which empowered users to pull more optimistic content into their social media feeds. The campaign has been proven to help consumers boost positive feelings, with 78 percent of people saying they felt more optimistic after seeing the campaign versus before exposure.”

The “Optimism your feed” playlist can be found on LG’s global TikTok channel (@lge_lifesgood) and global YouTube channel (@LGGlobal). More details can be found on the campaign page on www.lg.com/lifesgood/.
