Tip 3 – Dual flush
Geberit has launched both the flush stop and the dual flush. It is not necessary to flush the maximum amount of water into the toilet pan. But there’s no need to worry for those who are not yet equipped: a flush stop can be retrofitted quickly and easily.
Tip 4 - Turning the tap off
It takes time to clean your teeth, wash your hands or shave. You do need water at the beginning and then at the end again, but there is no sense in letting the water run in between. So, turn the tap off temporarily and save a considerable amount of water in the process.
Tip 5 - Reducing the amount of hot water
Hot water is the most problematic water in any household. Because heating it in your own boiler means additional energy. Furthermore, it always takes a while for the hot water to make its way from the boiler to the tap. In the meantime, unused cold water splashes out of the tap. Washing your hands quickly with hot water results in disproportionately high water consumption. A rethink could well pay off.
Tip 6 - Mending a dripping tap
A constantly dripping tap doesn’t just get on your nerves, it also puts a strain on your water bill – and thus the environment. So this is something you should see to as soon as you can. A dirty or worn seal is usually the reason for a dripping tap. It doesn’t take much to clean or replace one of those. And that pays off two to three times over.
