ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 1 18.11.20 — Reducing water use in hotel rooms has the highest potential impact in water savings.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 2 18.11.20 — CHALLENGE Sustainability is a leading factor for customer purchase decisions. 4 WINS FOR HOTELS: • Meeting Customer Demand • Saving Utility Costs • Avoiding Regulatory Fines • Social Responsibility Public awareness of the global water crisis is growing. Today 1.5 billion people are considered to be living under extreme water stress, and that number is expected to more than double by the year 2020.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 3 18.11.20 — SOLUTION Same Tap – 98% Less Water. In a regular tap water gushes out at around 10–12 L/Min. Most of it just passes your hands, meaning you only use the water that touches your skin. This results in billions of gallons of fresh water running straight down the drain every day. Through our patent pending technology, the Altered:Nozzle atomizes the water, breaking the water up into millions of drops.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 4 18.11.20 — SOLUTION Two solutions for different situations.

A simple turn of the handle switches over to a regular spray, perfect for filling a glass of water, rinsing etc. Still saving 85% but giving the user all the water they need. - Dual Flow Mist, 0.22 L/Min. Spray 1.8 L/Min.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 5 18.11.20 — THE BUSINESS CASE A 30 second installation that saves millions of liters of water every day. In a regular hotel around 30% of the fresh water is used in the Hotel Rooms and 7.23% in wash-hand basins.** With a total use of 300 to 600 liters per guest and stay, that means around 30–45 liters of water per day through taps. With the use of the Altered:Nozzle the Hotel will save 85–98% of that every day. At least 25.5 liters and up to 44 liters per stay.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 6 18.11.20 — THE BUSINESS CASE Financials – Save $12,823 and 260,000 liters of water every year. If we look at an EPA case study of a water efficiency project in The Holiday Inn San Antonio, Texas, we see that a saving of 1% of water equates a monetary savings of $1,943/year in reduced utility and energy bills.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 18.11.20 THE BUSINESS CASE Reduced Carbon Footprint. A hotel with 100 rooms use approximately 900,000 liters of water per year. Since much of the water in taps is hot water, energy saved from reducing the amount of water will not only save money, but also substantially reduce the building’s carbon footprint as well. Many hotel managers are subject to sustainability goals, which can be met by decreasing water and energy use.
ALTERED:NOZZLE WHITE PAPER – HOSPITALITY 18.11.20 Conclusions Saving water is not enough any more. We need to find solutions that makes us only use what we need. And when it comes to faucets, in many cases that is only 2% of what we are using today. Installing the Altered:Nozzle is one of the easiest way for your company to make a difference. - Sustainability matters to consumers and employees. - Retrofit, rather than buying a new faucet, is cheaper, faster and saves resources.
