Solving A Serious Problem Through Technology
When we started Nebia, we set out to create the world’s best shower experience while preserving our environment and its natural resources.
Water is one of the most abundant substances on the planet, but 99% of it is trapped in salty oceans, polar ice caps, and on top of mountain peaks. Just 1% of the water on Earth is usable for the entire global population.
Today, 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to clean water and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year (Source: World Wildlife Fund). In our home state of California, we are once again experiencing extreme drought conditions, with devastating consequences.
Nebia by Moen Quattro is our biggest leap forward in conserving this precious resource. We accomplish this leap through our proprietary atomization technology. Hundreds of iterations, and innovation across three unique nozzle types, has led to a product that provides power, coverage and warmth, is extremely water efficient, and has achieved profound manufacturing advancements to become cost effective.
That is how we are able to bring a showerhead with this technology at a price point that was impossible in the past.
This is the shower we’ve always wanted to make. Thanks to you, our Kickstarter backers, we have been able to spend over 6 years in the lab engineering, developing, and refining our technology. The result is a shower that brings that clean, refreshing, and enjoyable showering experience found in the most luxurious bathrooms across the world, all while saving up to 50% of the water normally used.
Turning Past Trash Into Products For The Future
Nebia’s mission is to make products that people love to use and that are better for the planet. This goes beyond water savings. From the materials used in our products to our packaging, we seek out innovations that reduce our environmental footprint and make a net positive impact on the world.
We have taken a giant step with Quattro. It is the first shower ever to have Recycled Ocean Plastic components.
This material is produced from fishing nets that often end up as trash in the ocean. It takes material science advancements, methodical engineering, and rigorous reliability testing to incorporate recycled materials into a product. But that’s exactly what we’re doing -- We are taking pollution from the environment and upcycling it into products that can last decades. And this is just the beginning for us.
Like our shower systems made of infinitely recyclable aluminum, and our shower curtain made from upcycled bottles, we are marching towards a future where we make all of our products out of truly sustainable materials.
And although the march to fully sustainable product development will be a long process, this is a critical first step. Together with Moen, we plan to double down in this upcycling process using more recycled materials in our products and to one day make our showers out of 100% sustainable materials.
Water, our driving force
Nebia is driven by an obsessive passion for creating better experiences, as well as a core belief that we can be more responsible consumers of Earth’s most precious resource. We have been here before, with 3 cutting edge products that have disrupted the shower scene since 2015.
Quattro comes at a time when environmental sustainability is particularly top-of-mind, especially in our home state of California where drought conditions are continuing to worsen. Since its founding, Nebia’s mission has centered around innovating nozzle technologies to bring water-saving technologies to market as fast as possible.
To date, the Nebia community has saved more than 300 million gallons of water with 50,000 units sold around the world–a number that will continue to grow with the increased accessibility of Nebia’s technology thanks to the introduction of the more affordable Quattro.
Reviews
Nebia by Moen Quattro has been receiving rave reviews from some of its early testers.
Levi "Save the World" Hildebrand tests out the new Quattro Handshower, the "most exciting thing" they have in their bathroom right now:

Globally Compatible
A version of Quattro (Rainshower or Handshower) works in almost any shower setup in the world. The Quattro rainshower works on above head wall outlets, and ceiling outlets. The handshower works on above head wall outlets and waist-high wall outlets. This makes Quattro the first Nebia shower that is globally compatible. The table and graphics below can help you identify which Quattro is best for you. If you are still unsure, email support@nebia.com, with a picture of your shower, and our team can help you decide.
European Compatibility
Quattro is natively compatible in Europe. It also ships out of our new EU warehouse saving our European customers on duties and shipping!
European backers have supported Nebia since our first campaign. There are thousands of Nebias installed across Europe. Historically, the design of Nebia has meant separate SKUs for Europe, sometimes with more difficult installations, and our volumes dictated shipping these products from our warehouse in the US. With Quattro, Nebia is universally compatible. Whether you have an overhead shower, or hand shower set up, Quattro can work for you!
*Slider Bar not included. See FAQs for more info.
Australian Compatibility
Nebia is finally natively compatible in Australia! Just take Quattro out of the box, and install it.
Australian backers have been enthusiastic supporters of Nebia since our first campaign. Historically, the shower system design of Nebia has meant separate SKUs, and installs, for Australia. With Quattro, Nebia is universally compatible. Whether you have an overhead shower, or hand shower set up, Quattro can work for you! Just unscrew your current shower, and install Quattro.
Rewards
Timeline
We are working with our manufacturing patterns to ensure rapid delivery of all pledges despite global supply chain congestion. Nebia by Moen Quattro pledges in the United States will begin shipping in September and most finishes will ship by the end of October (Brushed Gold and Oil-Rubbed Bronze will start shipping in October and finish by the end of November). We estimate that the first 2,000 units will ship to U.S. backers before the end of September. Rest of world pledges will begin shipping in October and finish by the end of November.
The Earth Mat and NASA will ship between mid September and end of November. We will try to ship your entire pledge all at once but some products may ship sooner than others depending on the finishes of your units and add-ons selected.
Please note that your delivery date will depend on your backer number, in addition to some other factors. For example, some finishes might be ready before others, certain regions might ship before others, and we will not ship your pledge until you have completed your Backerkit survey. That said, we will do everything in our power to deliver your pledge as soon as possible!
For this campaign, we will offer an expedited shipping option to select countries as an add-on that can be selected after your pledge. The unprecedented congestion at ports all over the world has more than doubled the time it takes to ocean freight. Due to this longer than usual transit time, we have enabled an option to expedite shipping, which air freights your reward directly from our manufacturer. This option respects every backer’s place in line, however it allows you to choose how your reward gets shipped when it is ready. If you’re pledging for multiple Nebia by Moen Quattro units you will have to increase the quantity of the expedited shipping add-on to match the quantity of Quattro units pledged.
Duties and Taxes
U.S. Backers - We will need to collect sales tax from backers located in select states. Sales tax will be charged/collected via BackerKit after the campaign ends.
European Union Backers - We will need to collect VAT from all backers located in the European Union. VAT will be charged/collected via BackerKit after the campaign ends. Pledges will ship to EU backers via our Netherlands warehouse, so EU backers will not need to pay any import duties or additional fees at the time of delivery.
For Rest of World - Recipients of orders shipped outside of the United States or European Union will be responsible for any and all costs associated with import taxes, customs duties, or fees levied by the destination country. Any such charges will be collected directly at the time of the delivery by the carrier. Nebia has no control over such charges and cannot estimate the exact amount. Please contact your local customs office for more information. If you decline to pay these duties and taxes due to the carrier upon delivery of your order, the package may be considered abandoned, destroyed, or returned to the United States (at an extremely high cost charged to Nebia). Under these circumstances, we, unfortunately, cannot consider requests for replacement shipments or refunds.
