Typically homes built within the last 17 years will have a Mains Pressure System. Showers using a Mains Pressure System will deliver up to about 24 litres per minute of tepid water at 300kpa pressure (many homes’ sytems run around 500kpa). That’s about 10 litres per minute usage of hot water or a 180 litre hot water cylinder drained in two 10 minute showers!
Foreno offers a large selection of taps which are rated 0 – 6 Star WELs ratings so you can rest easy knowing you are choosing
a brand that does their bit for water conservation.
Foreno also offers you their water saver kit (FORPT34) which includes a selection of output reduction discs that can be fitted into any existing shower. It costs under $10 and can save you up to 67% of hot water usage within the shower. This should be first on your list. |
