And yet, dealing with sports injuries is something that most of us will have to go through, with nearly 2 million sports-related injuries affecting high school athletes alone per year. Most of us know the feeling of attempting to take a shower or bath when your arm is wrapped in a cast and cannot get wet. It's a defeated feeling, and it can quickly take away the motivation to shower or bathe in the first place. After all, wouldn't it be easier to not deal with the challenge? Furthermore, you may also be concerned that showering with your sports-related injury will be a longer process than a normal shower, making the entire ordeal less environmentally friendly. While there are ways to make sure you are being economical while showering, like being conscientious of what you put down the drain, you may not always be thinking about the environment when trying to avoid getting your injury wet in the shower. Fortunately, there are two ways you can be economical about your water usage while showering with an injury, including:</p></description></item><item><title>Don't Put These Things Down The Shower Drain!</title><link>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog3/</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog3/</guid><description><p>Natural water in Finland is some of the most polluted water in Europe (read the discussions in the article). You might be contributing to its pollution without realizing it, such as if you're putting things down the drain that you really shouldn't. Making your shower eco-friendly should be about saving water as well as preventing water contamination. Here's what you can do to be greener and cleaner!</p>
|

<p>In Finland, people use an average of 140 liters of water every day. By installing a product such as Showerloop into your shower, you can save water and energy. Showerloop reuses water while you shower so that it doesn't go to waste – and you don't have to feel guilty about taking longer showers. However, that's just Step One to ensuring a more eco-friendly shower. Step Two involves preventing toxins from ending up in water systems and the environment. That means you can enjoy showering without worrying about how you're harming the water and wildlife.</p></description></item><item><title>Showerloop at the Design museum</title><link>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog2/</guid><description><h2>Low poly showerstall for the Design Museum. Enter & Encounter Exhibit</h2>
|

<p>At the start of the year, we were asked to bring a demo of Showerloop to an art/design/futurism exhibit. We also designed a wooden shower stall to accompany the showerloop system. The shower stall was made with blender, Explision, Meshlab, a lasercutter, circle saw, router, dremel, drill, clamps, hammer, crowbar, screwdriver, nuts, sticks, planks and bits, interior wax and lights.</p></description></item><item><title>The electronics board PCBBasic2.0</title><link>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog1/</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/posts/blog1/</guid><description><p>For the last couple of months we have gotten back to circuit boards and looking at completing the project we started a long time ago.

There's been a lot to learn considering all we could do a few years ago was wire up a light bulb, and even then we would need to check what the difference was with the brown wire (live/positive) and the blue wire (ground/neutral).</p></description></item><item><title/><link>http://localhost:1313/licenses/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/licenses/</guid><description><h1>The key to open source hardware and software is an open heart</h1>

<h2>Production</h2>
|
||
<p>Made in Finland - for the most part. We've been doing our best to source materials as locally as possible. Sadly it's harder and harder to producers here in Finland or if we can it's just too expensive for us until we can produce more component inhouse.</p>
|
||
<p>The main components of the filter and electronics are, however, made here in Finland with the help of tools and expertise from Aalto Fablab in Helsinki, Varia vocational school & AIRO Island Ry.</p></description></item><item><title>How It Works</title><link>http://localhost:1313/how-it-works/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/how-it-works/</guid><description><section>

<strong>Ultraviolet light</strong><br/>

After passing through the filters the water is clear, clean and bacteria free and ready to be pumped back into the shower head. A small electrical resistor can be used to reheat the water to your set temperature. When you are done the water goes down the drain like normal or you can use the water for something else, like doing your laundry or flushing the toilet to save even more water.
