How do you save water without compromising design or enjoyment? By choosing companies at the forefront of water saving technology.
Most households are now being metered, so the issue of water conservation is becoming harder to ignore. One option is to install a dual flush toilet. One flush uses only three litres of water compared to the standard six litre flush.
You don’t have to compromise on style as more manufactures are investing in water saving appliances such as Hansgrohe, Europe’s largest producer of showers and taps. Their shower controls have built in water saving technology and also produce a re-cycling system that takes water from the basin, bath and shower and recycles it to flush the toilet, and water the garden.
Hansgrohe have a choice of power shower controls that save water using their specially designed shower heads from their exciting Hansgrohe Raindance Shower range. They save water by drawing air into the shower head and mixing water at a 3 to 1 ratio. The result is a wonderful bubbly spray that can be soft or a massage intensity, it’s your choice. (see photo)
Taps can have restrictors and aerators to improve the spray but reduce the flow. Electronic taps can now be fitted in your home, once you remove your hand the tap is off.
It is essential to experience all the technological benefits, so make sure the showroom you visit can demonstrate “working power showers”.
Retailers that have working showrooms can usually demonstrate electric, gravity and power showers, this will help you make an informed decision.
Always make sure that you buy a brand that has a good guarantee.
