Products for Immediate Water Saving

There are concrete tools available to immediately influence water consumption, especially when showering. These products are easy to install and quickly contribute to more efficient water use.

Flow Restrictors and Water-Saving Aerators

A flow restrictor, often in the form of an aerator, can easily be mounted onto existing faucets or shower heads. This device mixes air with the water stream. The result is a full jet that feels pleasant, but uses considerably less water. As a result, less water needs to be heated, providing double savings.

Water-Saving Shower Heads

Specially designed water-saving shower heads are tuned to minimize water flow, typically to 7.2 liters per minute, compared to the 10–15 liters of a standard shower head. These shower heads efficiently mix air with water, thus providing a comfortable jet with less water. This directly helps to reduce consumption costs.

Shower Timers

A shower timer is a simple, visual tool that helps increase awareness of shower duration. The timer runs out in a fixed time, often 5 minutes, serving as a guideline for how long to shower. This instrument is an accessible way to adapt habits and reduce water consumption while showering.

General Tips for Water Saving

Besides specific products, small adjustments in daily routines also lead to lower water consumption.

• Check for leaks: A dripping faucet or unnoticed leaking toilet can waste unnecessary amounts of water. Check periodically for leaks and repair them promptly.
• Conscious use: Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, soaping yourself in the shower, or washing dishes. These small, conscious actions have a direct effect on water usage.

Saving water is a matter of making conscious choices and using the right tools. This not only contributes to a lower water bill, but also to a more sustainable use of natural resources.
