The project team has a working demo, not the final product. Their ability to begin production may be affected by product development or financial challenges.
We think that Loopz is the best portable circulation shower system for outdoor living available today. It combines a high quality shower tent with either the Filtration Module Basic or the advanced showerfiltration system called the Loopz Filtration Module. The tent made by Karsten tenten in The Netherlands will last a lifetime. Each is designed by the team from Hamwells. We have years of experience in filtration systems and implemented a unique, robust and easy-to-clean filtration system for Loopz. With this technology we give you the clearestcirculated water possible within the boundaries of outdoor travelling.
The Filtration Module
The Filtration Module for this outdoor shower was designed with robustness and simplicity in mind. The shower incorporates a sediment tank, a thick replaceable mechanical 40 micron non-woven polypropylene micro filter and an optional UV-C purification light. UV-C is well known nowadays for its disinfectant properties and is extensively used in many industries to get rid of bacteria and viruses. It has a specific wavelength of light that is also emitted by our sun, but luckily blocked by our ozone layer. It has the ability to destroy the molecular bonds in the DNA of viruses and bacteria, effectively rendering them inactive.
Perks
The Filtration Module is designed with robustness and simplicity in mind. It houses a cleaning system and all necessary electronic components. The Filtration Module can be placed on the floor, either outside or in your campervan. From the Filtration Module the water is pumped to the shower head.
Two- or Three-stage filtration?
To clarify, there are two different kinds of Filtration Modules: Loopz Filtration Module Basic and Loopz Filtration Module. The difference between these two is using an UV-C light or not. The UV-C light (included in the Loopz Filtration Module) fights bacteria and viruses, the Loopz Filtration Module Basic only filters those bigger than 40 micron by the PP microfilter. Depending on how you intend to use the Loopz Module, both the two- and three-stage filtration provide a great shower experience.
The Shower Head
It sounds a bit silly... But actually Loopz is the only circulating shower system that we know of to have a proper shower head which you can actually fixate and adjust! This makes Loopz a convenient and comfortable outdoor shower.
The LED Indicator
The LED indicator ring around the stainless steelpush button indicates the status of Loopz. When it is flashing on and off it means that the Filtration Module is on, but there is not enough water yet, when the LED is fully on it means it’s shower time! Push the button and Loopz starts. While running the LED indicator will softly glow on and off. Push again and Loopz stops at your command.
Cleaning Process
Cleaning Loopz is easy. Remove the shower tray and the floor of the modules is completely accessible. Also, the filter can be removed very easily. All electronic components like the pump and level sensor are easy to access and can even be removed from the bracket if needed.
The Adapters
Loopz requires one 12VDC power supply for the pump, UV-C light, everything. There are many ways to hook up your electrical equipment and we have tried to accommodate most of them. The Loopz Filtration Module has a short cable with a heavy duty, waterproof and compact connector. To connect Loopz to a power source, you can select four additional "add-on" perks. We offer both a 5 meter and 10 meter extension cord. We also offer a 100-240VAC to 12V adapter (plug depending on your country) and a converter to a car lighter outlet. New is our option to connect Loopz to an USB-C power source, for example a powerbank.
Team
Our Loopz team is part of the Hamwells design and engineering department. Hamwells has been developing intelligent and sustainable shower systems for years. Our office & factory are located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This is where we deal with every aspect of the design process, from testing up to assembly. We are always striving to deliver to you a high quality product and proper Dutch Design.
At the start of this year we hit onto the idea to create a more portable version of our current circulating shower called HomeSpa. We already installed many of these in Tiny Houses. Unfortunately, when travelling or out on camping trips most people do not have a water mains. So we created Loopz! The circulating shower specifically designed as a camping shower or when travelling with your van or truck.
