Survey

Water Efficiency is an ever growing issue, from green conservation through to the simple aim of saving money.

Waterlink can survey your property to investigate areas which could prove to yield significant savings to your water bill if action is taken.

This is done by:

	Assessing water fittings and plumbing appliances for water efficiency
	Checking internal pipe work
	Checking water use associated with grounds maintenance
	Checking for leaks on underground pipes
	Water bill comparisons and meter readings
	Investigating normal house keeping practices

Solutions

After surveying a property Waterlink can provide a range of solutions that fit your particular needs. They will help you reduce the amount of water used and thus save money and a precious resource.

Urinal controls

Constantly flushing urinals are pouring water and money down the drain and can be your highest water waster. Infra red controls are easy to install and mean that the urinals will only flush when required to. It will also mean that the urinals are not constantly wasting water at the weekends.

Waterless urinals

As their name implies, they do not use any water but rely on special deodorising inserts which are changed periodically. However, there is an ongoing maintenance cost, but they can be cost effective in areas of high usage.

Water efficient toilets

Older cisterns can use up to 9 litres of water per flush but the modern ones must use no more than 6 litres. Dual flush toilets can use even less water.

Push top taps

These are known as percussion taps and can be adjusted to the required duration of water flow - six seconds is all that is normally required. After that time they close automatically, which will also eliminate the risk of flooding from taps left running. These taps can be supplied as cost effective retrofit kits, which simply fit into the existing tap.

Tap inserts

These are fitted into the existing taps to change the flow pattern to a 'spray' which will reduce the volume of water used. They are cost effective but may not be suitable for all taps.

Flow restricting valves

These are valves which are fitted to the pipes leading to the taps on the basin and can be adjusted to the required flow. They are also isolating valves which allow tap maintenance without turning off the water supply.

Shower push button controls

A push button control on showers will limit the flow from the shower to the duration required, reducing unnecessary water use.

Shower flow restriction

There are showerheads on the market which reduce flow to below 10 litres/minute but still give a good performance.

Water butts

If the property has any grounds, water butts can significantly reduce water use.
