Whether you run an office, a restaurant, or a large industrial space, there are plenty of simple and effective ways to reduce your water usage. With lower water consumption comes lower utility bills, so whether it’s following our top water saving tips or checking out our favourite water-saving gadgets, there are lots of opportunities to make savings.
Here’s a look at some of the best water-saving devices for businesses which start from just a few pounds each on our online shop.
-
Tap aerators: These clever little devices can be installed on taps in washrooms and kitchens to reduce water flow while maintaining strong water pressure. They cost as little as £3 for a pair and can save up to 50% of water usage (and sometimes even more than that!). And on top of that, you can install them yourself so no need to call in a plumber!
-
Aerated shower heads: Simply swapping out your shower heads can make a big difference to your consumption. These shower heads mix water with air to create larger droplets, so you’ll use far less water but won’t feel a significant difference in pressure.
-
Shower timers: If your business has employee showers, installing digital or sand timers can encourage shorter showers and reduce water consumption. By having shorter showers, not only will you be able to save water but also reduce the energy required to heat it, contributing to lower energy bills and environmental sustainability.
-
Toilet hippos and save-a-flush bags: These cost-effective devices reduce the amount of water used per flush, just pop one of these bags in your cistern and start saving.
-
Dual flush: Convert conventional flush mechanisms to a more water-efficient dual flush mechanism. You’ll have the option of a full flush or a half flush, so you’ll be able to use half the amount of water wherever possible.
-
Passive Infrared Urinal Flush Controller (PIR Control): By using infrared sensors to detect when someone is present, urinals will only flush after use to ensure that water is used only when necessary, significantly reducing wastage.
Implementing these water-saving devices will help you reduce your water consumption and lower your bills – and you’ll be helping to protect one of our planet’s most precious resources too!
