Showering is already water efficient, comparing it with the amount of water used in baths. In fact, it’s possible to save 150 litres a week, unless of course a power shower is being used.
Many consumers have water meters fitted, so it’s good to be able to advise them on ways to make extra savings. Extra saving can be made by fitting aerated shower heads. This device replaces the existing
showerhead, and can cut water use by 60 per cent with no loss of performance. Like the tap aerator inserts, air is mixed into the water flow. This gives the effect of the same flow rate, while using less water. The aerated showerhead is suitable for use with combi boilers and power showers, but not for electric showers or those with low water pressure (less than eight litres per minute).
