According to Waterwise, around 12% of a household’s gas is used to heat water for showers, baths and taps, confirming that using less hot water this winter will reduce energy bills. 

The Ecobooster has a default mode offering a water-saving flow rate and a boost mode allowing for higher water flow on demand. To fill a bath or kitchen sink quickly the device can be switched to the boost mode. But only the default water-saving mode is required to adequately rinse dishes, wash hands or clean teeth.

The savings made using this system soon add up. In a home that has three bar supply pressure, the Ecobooster on a shower can reduce a boost flow of up to 20 litres per minute to either 11 or 8 litres per minute.  Considering an average shower is 8 minutes long, then it could save up to 96 litres per shower!

Savings in a kitchen or bathroom tap are not as easy to calculate but it makes sense that a default flow rate of around 5 to 7 litres per minute through a tap, with boosts up to 17 litres on demand, will produce substantial water savings here too.

The Ecobooster range from Neoperl comprises a pressure-compensating washer, an aerator, a check valve, an optional backflow-prevention check valve, a switch and a housing unit.
