bathroom fixtures that aid in conserving water. Water smart technology is now being implemented in bathroom mixer tap designs. There are many ways to save when remodeling your bathroom. Single lever bathroom taps that combine the hot and cold water flow allows you to quickly find the right water temperature so you don’t waste water trying to get the balance right.
Automatic or sensor taps combine hands free technology with water reduction. With thermostatically controlled sensors, this particular tap releases the flow of water upon placing the hands directly under the spout. Initially these types of taps were commonly found in public bathrooms for hygienic reasons to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. The no touch handles and taps are ideal for children and anyone with limited hand mobility and prevents cross contamination with other family members.
If this type of basin tap is not within your budget since they do cost substantially more than standard mixer taps, you can still cut costs by installing a tap aerator can save you about half the amount of water you would use with a standard tap. The beauty of this technology allows you to install any traditional or modern mixer tap in both the bathtub, shower and basin areas without sacrificing the look of the bathroom while conserving water.
Being water smart means checking on a regular basis for leaky taps, pipes and hoses will eliminate unwanted costs. One dripping tap can waste up to 2,000 litres of water per month, so turn taps off properly, check washers for wear and attend to leaking taps. If you are uncertain there are leaky pipes or hoses, a sure check is through the water meter. Before going to bed make certain all the taps inside and outside are turned off, take a meter reading and if the numbers have increased by morning then this is a tell tale sign you have a leak somewhere in the home. Repairing a leaky tap is a relatively simple task. It could mean replacing a nylon or rubber washer, but if the tap is severely worn for wear, rather than attempting to repair it, replacing the entire tap is recommended.
