Shower Smart Water-Saving Card System

Product Keywords: RFID Card Water Saving Management System

 

Product Introduction: The RFID IC card water-saving control management system primarily addresses the need to improve water usage efficiency and strengthen economic accounting, ensuring every drop of water serves its purpose. Its main economic benefits stem from water conservation, reduced heating energy consumption (gas, coal, electricity, etc.) for the saved water, and cost savings from reduced fees. Additionally, savings on sewage treatment fees charged by property management represent another significant aspect.

 

Water Management System Benefit Analysis

School Case One: One shower ticket, use it or lose it, average water usage 30 minutes.

Before installing the IC card water control system, a Beijing university used a ticket-based shower system. Statistics showed that students typically used water for about 30 minutes per shower (longer for female students), resulting in惊人 waste. After installing the IC card shower control system, shower water usage is charged based on actual flow. Students pay for every minute of water used, leading to conscious efforts to save water by frequently turning the tap on and off. Shower times significantly decreased to an average of 10-15 minutes, saving over 50% of water.

Factory Case Two: Showering and laundry, not enough faucets, showering is too difficult.

A southern factory with over 4,000 employees provided free showers in its澡堂. Employees typically showered once daily for an average of over 20 minutes. Female employees often used the澡堂 to wash clothes, monopolizing faucets and causing long queues. Fights over faucets were common, and some didn't finish showering and laundry until late at night, affecting rest before early shifts. Additionally, the local government implemented tiered water pricing, charging high fees for excess usage.

To encourage water conservation and improve澡堂 efficiency, the factory installed water-saving controllers. The company subsidized water costs through employee wages, with employees paying for showers via IC cards. Unused subsidies became employee income.

After implementing this measure and installing water-saving controllers, results were significant: water usage dropped to government-mandated levels, shower times decreased,澡堂 efficiency improved, and crowding issues were resolved.

Case Three: Splitting water bills equally is unfair.

A dormitory with 8 residents shared one shower faucet. The management office collected monthly water fees, split equally among the 8. This caused conflicts due to varying shower frequencies and durations (10 minutes to nearly an hour). Those who showered quickly felt it unfair to pay as much as those who took longer. Over time, quick showers prolonged their usage out of frustration, wasting water and causing disputes.

After learning of the issue, the management office installed water-saving controllers. Residents now pay for their own water usage, leading those with longer showers to shorten their time. With individualized payments, conflicts reduced significantly.

Benefit Analysis

The promotion and application of this system mainly aim to improve water usage efficiency and strengthen economic accounting, maximizing the role of every drop of water. The primary economic benefits come from water conservation, reduced heating energy consumption (gas, coal, electricity, etc.) for the saved water, and cost savings from reduced fees. Additionally, savings on sewage treatment fees charged by property management are also noteworthy. Taking a university as an example:

In a typical university, students usually shower for 20 minutes, using about 150 liters of water. After installing water-saving controllers, the dynamic display function greatly enhances students' awareness of water conservation, reducing actual shower time to under 10 minutes and water usage to 50% of before, saving 75 liters. With water usage halved, associated fuel, management, and保障 costs also decrease proportionally. For a university with 10,000 students, annual savings are estimated at around 500,000 yuan.
