THIS WORLD WATER DAY ENJOY STEPPING INTO A HOT SHOWER WITHOUT THE GUILT OF WASTING WATER WITH THE MOEN^® HOT WATER SAVINGS HANDHELD

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of World Water Day, Moen, a leader in water experiences in the home, is proud to announce the new Hot Water Savings Handheld. Designed to cut shower water usage by over a third when the technology is activated, this innovative showerhead can save up to 5,500 gallons annually* without compromising the shower experience.

"We've all had mornings where we turned on the cold shower and then lost track of time while waiting for the water to turn hot. This is an unnecessary depletion of resources and a reminder of how our daily routines impact the environment," said Caroline Silva, senior category manager, custom showering, Moen. "At Moen, we believe that comfort shouldn't come at the expense of sustainability. Not only is this shower already warm when you step inside, it offers customized settings for a luxurious and personalized experience."

Before stepping into the shower, turn the shower handle to the "hot" position, then press the CONSERVE button to activate the technology. As the water warms up, the flow will automatically reduce to a trickle once it reaches 95°F. The showerhead will hold the temperature to keep the water warm without excess water usage. When ready to step into the shower, toggle back to FLOW to resume normal water flow. In addition to the water-saving innovation, the showerhead also meets EPA WaterSense^® criteria.

The Hot Water Savings Handheld offers five high-performance spray settings and features Moen's Magnetix™ technology—a powerful magnetic dock that easily releases the handheld and securely snaps it back into place, even when eyes are closed. The dock itself is made from recycled ocean plastic, which adds another layer of sustainability to the shower routine. The handheld shower's crisp, geometric design also enhances bathroom aesthetics.
