Tricks home supply

Concern about the environment today is becoming a fashionable trend and people are increasingly thinking about the impact they have on nature. But few people realize that to take care of the environment is possible and in house conditions.

In the modern metropolis the problem of efficient use of resources becomes relevant: each of us lives in an apartment, pay utility bills, and many people are already worried about how to save resources without causing harm to the health.

Engineers Grohe wondered how much water we consume on a daily basis and have developed many technologies that allow to allocate water resources.

Based on data from the European studies, we can say that each of us consumes per day is about 125 liters. Of these, approximately 63 % is consumed at home, and it is about 78 liters. This water that we consume during washing, washing dishes, taking a shower. For Russia this figure is usually two times more.

Start saving with bathing: take a shower two to three times more economical than a bath to fill. And when you use special equipment, available to everyone, it is possible to reduce the water another two times, and hence to reduce the water bill in the payment.

So, about the bathroom

Water consumption in the ordinary mixer tap on the sink is from 12 to 20 liters per minute, the consumption of which is really necessary for comfortable hand washing is about 6 liters. To reduce the expense in this case it is possible two methods:

Due to the installation of aerators to limit flow. The aerator is a device that is mounted on the end of the spout of the faucet and reduces water consumption by mixing air into the stream of water. The aerator also serves as an additional filter. They can pick up and install on the previously purchased the mixer. For example, reducing water consumption to 5.7 litres per minute (there are also options 3.8 l/min, 1.9 l/min, 1.35 l/min).

To reduce the expiry time in the water, conscious of turning off the water when it is not needed (e.g. while brushing teeth).

To reduce the time of water leakage by installing faucets with infra-red sensor. This decision has been quite successfully used by families with young children. For home is the perfect mixer powered by battery, it will last for several years of use. In this case you should not worry about open the taps, even if the children are left unattended in the bathroom.

Mixers for bath

In most cases, users use single lever faucets in the bath or shower. Single lever faucets are more economical in comparison with mixers with cranbourne, but the greatest efficiency can be achieved when using the thermostats.

 





What is the difference between mixer and thermostat? If in the case of the mixer you decide the proportions in which mixed water (twisting the handle with kranbalkoy or moving the handle lever mixer), in the case of the thermostat you have clearly set up two parameters (temperature and flow) and can adjust them separately.

The temperature provides a thermostatic cartridge which regulates the amount treated for mixing hot and cold water.

For the safety of children and the elderly provided a stopper at 38 degree. To turn the temperature over 38 degrees need to consciously press the button, turn the knob and select the desired temperature.

 





You can also save with a watering can. When choosing heads, the main indicator is water consumption. If the lake is not equipped with a limiter, the flow rate can be 13 or more liters per minute. But you can choose shower heads with flow limiter 9.5 liters per minute at this flow rate the comfort level in the shower will not be felt.

In the kitchen you can also install an aerator on the faucet thus reducing water consumption. Applying svoey in everyday life these technologies, you can easily optimize your bill for water consumption and become more cootvetstvenno by the user. published

P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
