| Low capacity baths Baths come in many shapes and sizes. Typically an average Ideal Standard 1700 x 700mm bath will hold between 175 and 210 litres of water to the overflow. The Alto water saving bath only needs 149 litres of water to the overflow. That saves 15-28% of water. Of course to have a luxurious bath you only need to fill the bath approximately 2 thirds below the overflow, allowing for average adult displacement of water. |
Shower baths Where space is limited, shower baths are designed to allow you to have a shower and a bath in the same area. These have a dual water saving advantage. The opportunity to have a water saving shower combined with a low capacity bath. |
Showering Taking a shower often saves water compared to having a bath. Water usage is dependent on the type of shower (e.g. conventional vs power), water pressure, size of valve and the length of time in the shower. Some showers use a high volume of water - anything from 10 to more than 30 litres of water per minute. One way to save water whilst keeping the benefits of a good shower is to fit a shower restrictor. Our restrictor is designed to give you a maximum of 9 litres of water per minute up to a pressure of 3 bar (Note you need a minimum pressure of 0.3 bar to achieve 9 litres per minute). The restrictor is fitted between the shower valve and the shower hose set. We only recommend using this restrictor with Trevi or Ideal Standard Showers and they are not suitable for use with Trevi Boost. |
  The Space shower bath allows you to have a shower or bath in the same area. |
 A typical 7 minute shower with water restrictor can save between 40 and 80 litres of water compared to having a bath. |
 Flow restrictors can be fitted to showers reducing the volume of water used. |
