Hi Mike. The Upfall Shower has two shower systems. When the drain is open a normal handshower givens 5 liter water a minute. This can be used for soap and shampoo. If you press the start button the drain is closed and filled. The upcycle system will start and give you 40 liter water a minute. This water is filtered, disinfected and...(this is the imoprtant part) meanwhile a small portion of hot water is added to maintain the temperature and to refresh the reservoir. In this way we don't need complex filter systems. In practice, peolpe are using soap and shampoo under the shower without a problem. Just use less of it and you won't even perceive it. Because the water is refreshed in the reservoir (only a few liter content) by clean hot water. Thereby soap is floating, dirt also, and we suck the water in the reservoir from the bottom. The Upfall Shower is using with the normal shower 5 liters a minute, with the Upfall 1,5. A normal shower uses 10-15 liter a minute.
