We save water and electricity in a private house
Opening a water tap in a private house with autonomous power supply, we consume not only water, but also electricity, since including water, we turn on both the pump and the water heater. If we install modern plumbing in a private house, we will save water and electricity.

Modern faucets
Only through the installation of a single lever mixer in a matter of seconds, it is possible to achieve a spout of water from the tap of the desired temperature.
And vice versa, if a two-valve mixer is installed, a lot of time will pass and a lot of unused water will leak into the sewer before the water of the right temperature goes.
So, we conclude that faucets play a big role in saving water, and in a private house and electricity.
Modern manufacturers produce faucets with various devices that help limit the outcome of the volume of water, but the consumer does not experience any inconvenience. Such gadgets achieve significant savings in energy and water.
For example, Hansgrohe and Axor faucets using Hahsgrohe EcoSmart technology can reduce the volume of outlet water to 5 l / min. (mixers of the old generation consume 14 l \\ min.). The whole point is that the water jet is saturated with air - this leads to a decrease in the consumed water, and the water jet itself becomes soft and voluminous.
In addition, modern faucets are equipped with high-tech flow restrictors, they are able to regulate the pressure of water. The limiter itself is made in the form of a ring and if the pressure is high, the ring takes a flat shape, closes the hole, reduces it, and accordingly, the water flow decreases. If the pressure drops, the restrictor returns to its original shape, thereby increasing throughput.
Modern single-lever mixers are able, regardless of fluctuations in water pressure, to maintain a constant flow of water. Durable cartridges are inserted into the mixers; they can reduce water consumption by up to 50%. Temperature controllers are inserted into the faucets - they help economically consume hot water.
Faucets, modern generation Roca, provide a special supply of water, equipped with an economical mode.
Many Kludi faucets have aerators, water consumption 6.5 l / min.
Mistresses, during cooking, often have to rinse their hands. It is inconvenient to open and close the faucet, if you keep it open there is a large flow of water. Kludi has developed a mixer that can be turned off with an elbow.
When purchasing faucets - ask what functions he is able to perform.
Modern faucets of electronic type, those that were previously installed in public institutions, came to modern kitchens and bathrooms. Their principle of operation is based on a photocell that responds to hand movements. At the same time, water flows strictly with a temperature of 38 * C.
If you do not want to install new equipment, you can install water-saving nozzles on your old one, they are easily installed on the spout of any mixer. The production of various models of nozzles has been established, with their help it is possible to achieve a water flow of 3-5 l / min.
Great help in saving water and electricity is provided by thermostats. Thermostats are wall-mounted and built-in, they are once set to a temperature of 38 * C and it is constantly maintained automatically.
Shower heads
Shower heads are also able to economically waste water. Grohe equips its hand and overhead showers with Grohe EcoGoy technology and is able to automatically save water.
Savings are due to a mixture of air and this leads to savings of 60%, while the quality of shower procedures does not suffer.
Shower and bath
Ruben showers can save water.
The cabins have their own pumps, which contributes to the economical consumption of water and at the same time is capable of passing up to 300 l / min in the hydromassage mode.
Massage water circulates through the watering can - pan circuit.
Using only 40 liters of water, you can get high-quality hydromassage.
But since the system does not have disinfection and filtration, it is necessary to wash before hydromassage.
Roca’s smart in-flow hydromassage bath allows you to save water while enjoying the side cascades, while hydromassage is enough 75 liters of water.
Toilet bowls and urinals
Urinals and toilets learned how to protect water.
Tanks of economical models are equipped with a dual drain mechanism of 3 - 6 liters. During the year, 6.5 thousand liters of water are saved by each member of the family.
The Vitra collection of floor and wall mounted toilet models is capable of producing a clean, complete flush with a flow rate of 4-2.5 liters.
When buying a toilet, give preference to models with a circular drain, i.e. water is supplied from several points of the toilet, thereby significantly reducing water consumption.
Roca company offers a new model in the form of a monoblock (sink + toilet bowl). Used water from the sink, through a filter system, enters the toilet bowl. Filters eliminate odors. Such a system saves water consumption by a quarter.
Modern urinals use only 1 liter of water to flush.
But it should be noted, and new outlandish urinals, they are generally waterless. Externally, such urinals are no different from water, but inside there is a replaceable cartridge.
Urine enters the cartridge, passes through the hydraulic valve. In the hydraulic lock is not water, but a lighter special fluid, it closes behind what has passed through it.
There is no unpleasant odor.
