Tap or Drain?

Think your bathroom tap uses little water? Think again! The average bathroom taps uses between 7 and 15 liters of water per minute.

In a household of 4 people, with each person using the bathroom taps for three minutes per day, this can amount to 65 700 liters of water per year. At R15 per cubic meter of water, the bathroom tap cost upto R1000 per year. A huge amount to pay for water running down your basin’s drain.
Installing a good aerator on your bathroom taps can pay for itself in months. The videos below show two popular water saving aerators that are inexpensive and easy to install :

The Neoperl Mikado
The Hi-Hippo one-touch

Neoperl Mikado Spray 1.4L/min Aerator Insert

The Mikado aerator insert saves up to 88% of your taps water use by reducing the flow to as low as 1.4 liters per minute, whilst producing an appealing spray pattern. This low flow rate is sufficient to wash your hands and face and brush your teeth – no more waste of water and money

And the best is that you do not need to pay a plumber to install it for you – simply unscrew your current aerator, replace the inner part with your Mikado aerator insert and screw it back on.
