A typical basin tap or shower running at mains pressure can easily deliver 20 litres per minute or more. This will apply to most cold water supply and hot water supply running from a combination boiler or pressurised hot water storage cylinder.
The easiest way to save water with existing basins and showers is to fit a flow restrictor.
For basins these are in the form of a flow regulating access valve. All outlets are now required to incorporate an isolating valve so that the supply can be turned off for maintenance. Flow regulating access valves simply replace the standard access valve. For showers, the flow regulator is most easily fitted to the flexible hose to the shower head.
In addition we are now able to offer the Aqualogic aerated and flow regulated showerhead - offering a powerful shower combined with water savings up to 75%. Simple to fit, these hand-held showerheads come with either a 6 litre or 9 litre flow restrictor to ensure maximum water conserbvation.
