Ideal Standard, the world’s leader in bathroom design and manufacture, advises on the importance of reducing water waste, due to sky rocketing water consumption over the past years. Recent statistics estimate we use 55% more water than 25 years ago, with roughly 60% of all water consumed in the bathroom. This comes from every day activities such as brushing your teeth, bathing, showering and flushing. Ideal Standard notes that water usage can be greatly reduced though, through a combination of ‘green’ water efficient products and smart water saving behavior.

No More Dripping Taps
Leaking taps on baths and basins can be an ongoing problem for homeowners. A dripping tap wastes up to 4 litres of water a day and countless more over time. Ideal Standard makes it easy for homeowners to eliminate wasteful dripping thanks to its ceramic disc technology. Its select line of tap collections include ceramic disc taps, which utilize a hard ceramic material in the valve, giving valves precise control and reduces dripping. Other ways of saving water include turning taps off when brushing teeth.
Showers are better than Baths
The best way to save water is to take a shower rather than a bath. On average, a shower lasts seven minutes
