Saving Water - The Facts

ISSUE:

Since 1930, water use in the UK has increased by 1% each year, every year.

EXPERTS AND AUTHORITIES AGREE THAT THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE, AND URGENT ACTION IS REQUIRED.

Currently, the average UK household (2.65 residents in the average UK home) usage is 150 litres per person per day, Twyford Bathrooms has decided to take action...

"Twyford continues
to drive and set
the standard in
water efficient
toilets. Importantly,
it reflects what
consumers want -
quality, value and
performance"

Jacob Tomkins, Managing Director, Waterwise

WC ISSUE:

Currently, the average UK household usage is 150 litres per person per day, 30% of which is flushed down the toilet.

SOLUTION:
The Twyford Flushwise^® WC 

The Twyford flushwise^® dual flush push button WC uses less than half the water of most toilets. According to UK Government figures, the average toilet uses 9 litres of water.
Flushwise uses 4 or 2.6 litres (an effective flush of just 3 litres) and leads the field for reduced water consumption.

In commercial applications, our 4 litre single flush concealed cisterns save even more water than DEFRA recommendations.

In a typical hospital with 1000 WCs, each flushed 4 times an hour they save an astonishing 70 million litres a year.

Flushwise^® is available on Galerie, Galerie Plan, Grace & Moda WCs.

Twyford Bathrooms has been awarded the Waterwise Marque for the revolutionary FLUSHWISE^® WCs.

TAP ISSUE:

A running tap uses 6 litres of water per minute.

SOLUTION:
The Aquations Low Flow tap

The Aquations low flow dual action tap and bath/shower mixer delivers water savings every time.

Our unique dual action tap can deliver water at 2.5 litres a minute* with one click back, and 5 litres a minute with two clicks.

You can choose the rate of flow, but either way - even with high pressure systems - it delivers a maximum of 5 litres a minute, therefore saving water every time.

 
The Aquations low flow bath/shower mixer delivers 6 litres a minute on the shower function, but has an unrestricted flow on the bath filler – combining performance with water saving.

* At 1 Bar

BATH ISSUE:

The UK Government aims to reduce the amount of water used when bathing to below the current 230 litre limit.

SOLUTION:
Low capacity baths

Twyfords Signature and Celtic baths have capacities of just 140 and 152 litres.

The Signature bath is cleverly shaped inside to reduce the amount of water needed to just 140 litres - that’s a saving of 90 litres, but you still get a good deep bath. The Celtic bath is a standard shape, but still has capacity of just 152 litres.

Also available,  the new Celtic 140 litre steel bath, (CE1572WH). This 1700x700mm bath offers all the benefits of the standard size Celtic, but with a water saving capacity of only 140 litres to the overflow. That's an estimated 35% water saving, compared to a typical standard size bath.

CONCEALED CISTERN ISSUE:

In the UK, we now use 30% more water than in 1970

SOLUTION:
Water saving concealed cisterns

Twyfords concealed cisterns use only 4 litres of water and lead the field for reducing water consumption.

Using Twyfords water saving concealed cisterns (push button or lever) the following back-to-wall and wall hung pans flush using only 4 litres of water.

• Back-to-wall: Refresh, Galerie, Moda
• Wall hung: Refresh and Galerie

Using water efficient WCs like these in domestic applications can make a significant difference.
