Tourist facilities in general, and hotels in particular, consume a lot of water. In fact, a single room can consume between 60,000 and 220,000 litres per year. From an economic point of view, this means not only high water costs, but also high energy costs. Therefore, consumption must be a priority when planning and can be controlled through the implementation of action plans aimed at reducing consumption. In addition, it is advisable to undertake an in-depth search for savings opportunities to implement small precautions and changes in internal habits, but especially those of the customers who bear the greatest responsibility for water consumption in hotels, as can be seen from these figures on the breakdown of water consumption in a medium-sized hotel:
Water consumption in rooms and communal bathrooms accounts for 54% of total consumption. It is clear that this is where efforts to curb consumption must be concentrated. And it is equally clear that customers must be involved if significant results are to be achieved.
What products does Idral offer to limit water consumption?
Having said that, IDRAL can suggest products that would certainly help this water saving, as well as satisfying aesthetics and ergonomics.
The Otto Series, for example, the latest line of designer electronic washbasin tapware from Idral, is available in a battery- or mains-powered version. It is simple to install and easy to use. It is beautiful to look at, convenient to clean and above all safe because NO TOUCH or hand free.
The Otto series is functional in consumption and therefore has all the requirements to help customers respect water consumption: 6lt/minute for the actual time it is used, which can be reduced to 1.9lt/minute on request.
Shutting off the supply after the user leaves prevents uncontrolled water consumption. And to satisfy aesthetic research, it is available in different finishes to match the environment and furnishings: traditional chrome or white, black, rose bronze, gold and even white/chrome or black/chrome.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for another solution while remaining within the sphere of limiting water consumption, IDRAL offers the timed push-button tap. More traditional in terms of choice and manual in terms of operation, but just as convenient and water-saving, the timed tap closes after 15 or 25 seconds, thus ensuring optimised use and unnecessary water waste.
To better clarify the importance of choosing an electronic or timed tap, we invite you to watch this film that compares the consumption of a traditional tap with that of a timed and an electronic one:
