Save water & reduce energy costs

Now is the time to look at the amount of warm water running through our business with a view to reducing usage to save both energy and money.

Neoperl UK is a manufacturer of water stream devices and flow regulators. They are precisionmade devices that can be inserted at the end of a tap spout or upstream of a shower outlet, to reduce and regulate the water flow without reducing performance.

As water pressure fluctuates throughout the country, it’s impossible to produce a tap or valve shower to work with the same efficiency in every commercial kitchen or hotel bedroom. Manufacturers therefore produce new taps and shower heads with optimal performance to work their best across all pressure situations. Now the flow can be tailored to a situation by retrofitting aerators and flow regulators to save water. There’s no point in having a strong flow rate if the tap is onl y used for washing teeth and hands or to have a shower that literally splashes out of the enclosure. These retrofit products allow the performance to be checked on site and adjusted to suit, ensuring a comfortable and suitable flow is reached. This is particularly important where rows of washbasins or multiple showers are prevalent. A Pressure Compensating Aerator (PCA) or flow regulator will help distribute the water more evenly throughout the building to mitigate flow issues from the effects of pressure fluctuations.

Shower Flow Control

A standard European shower head will produce around 18 litres of water per minute at 3 bar of pressure. A flow regulator like these could reduce this to a comfortable flow and dependant on the specified flow rate, save thousands of litres of water per year.

BATHROOM TAP PRESSURE COMPENSATING AERATORS (PCA’s)

It’s a 5-minute job to replace an incumbent anticlogging or stream control device with a flow 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 heated water.

Kitchen Taps Too

There are now 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.
