regulator. They are also available with ‘smart limescale clean’ nozzles to prevent limescale build up too. In a hotel bedroom where the tap is simply used for washing hands and cleaning teeth reducing the flow can save many litres of water and saves the energy that heats that water.

Kitchen Taps Too

It’s always been harder to save water in a catering kitchen with the need to quickly fill pans for cooking or sinks for washing up. However, there are retrofittable aerators that can be switched from a standard water saving flow to full capacity in an instant allowing the tap to be on eco-mode for general use but boosted to a fuller flow when required. So if a kitchen tap is simply being use for rinsing dishes, reduce the flow and save energy too.

Fitting Is Easy

It takes just a few minutes to fit an aerator in a tap or flow regulator in a valve shower and yet it can literally save thousands of litres of water each year. For the taps, the first job is to work out which product is required and which tool to remove the existing stream control. The new pressure compensating aerator is then placed and re-screw back into the spout end. To make a shower run more efficiently is a similar exercise by fitting a flow regulator upstream of the outlet. It is not recommended to fit an electric shower with these flow regulators as they will already be in place at the point of manufacture.

New Mask Study Shows That The Method of Hand Drying Can Affect The Spread Of Viruses Through The Air

89%

When using jet air dryers, 89% of masks were contaminated by viruses

More details about the results of the study, can be found here

Virus load significantly higher with jet air dryer use than with paper towels

Scientists have found that contamination of hand dryer users by splattering was found to be 10-fold higher when using jet air dryers than when using paper towels and contamination of other washroom users was also significantly greater.
