How to Save Water in the Bathroom: Simple and Economical Technologies

Are you aware of all the water we waste in the bathroom? More than two-thirds of the water consumed in the home is used in the bathroom. In fact, the toilet is the biggest water-consuming item in the home, above the washing machine and the shower. Today, we bring you the solution and explain how to save water in the bathroom.

Making small changes to our habits will contribute to much more sustainable and environmentally friendly personal care. However, companies also dedicate and invest resources in making products with technologies increasingly focused on sustainability.

There are various technologies in bathroom products that can help reduce water consumption. Surely you're thinking that these types of technologies are much more expensive than buying the product in the most basic and simple way, but there are technologies that are already part of our daily lives, don't cost much more, and are accessible to everyone.

Therefore, if your intention is to replace any of the elements in your bathroom, we will show you how to identify those that already have a built-in element that will help you reduce water consumption, without it costing you too much.

Dual flush toilet tanks

Dual-flush cisterns have a system that allows for two types of partial flush: 3 liters or a full flush of 6 liters. They even allow you to interrupt the flush before it's complete. This allows the user to choose the amount of water needed for each flush.

These flushers allow for savings on household water consumption. It is estimated that with these dual-flush cisterns, up to about 30 liters per day can be saved, approximately, with a minimum of three liters per flush.

Rimless toilet

While conventional toilets have that rim from which water exits, in Rimless toilets this element does not exist. In this case, the water is powerfully propelled from the back of the toilet's interior, through two holes located on the sides. The water's exit force itself and the design of the bowl cause the water to cover and clean the entire interior surface of the toilet. This results in better cleaning results with less water without increasing its consumption.

Save water in the bathroom with faucets

Gtimers

These models feature a push button, lever, or pedal connected to timed technology that maintains the water flow for only a few seconds before automatically shutting off. This way, the flow is maintained for a period of time to prevent water waste.

Single-lever faucets with regulator

This fixture allows you to control both the water flow and temperature with a single lever or handle. Single-handle faucets prevent the water waste that is inevitable with faucets that have two separate handles. Many have a slight stop halfway through the lever’s travel, at which point only 50 % of the flow is released; you have to move the lever further up if you want more water to flow. It’s a practical mechanism that helps you save water.
