Idral intelligent faucets: efficiency that reduces consumption and maintenance for a more sustainable and modern hotel
Hotel facilities: Idral products welcome guests with intelligent efficiency that reduces consumption, maintenance, controls hygiene and improves the hotel's image.
A few simple pieces of information for hoteliers and all those who manage tourist facilities, to inform and raise awareness for a conscious purchase of bathroom fittings.
Tourists stay and do not mind wasting water because the circumstance in which they find themselves is not that of home and they consider the hotel service all inclusive, even in the sense of water consumption. But does the hotelier know that he could save money and not a little by simply changing taps and showers?
We provide a quick and simple calculation using these parameters.
Hypothesis:
- Hotel with 50 rooms open 300 days/year.
- Water cost €2.50/m³.
- Average of 2 showers per day of 15 minutes each.
Using manual taps and fittings, the hotelier would spend approximately €25,000/year between the purchase of the taps and fittings and the purchase of water. But what if he decided to install timed taps instead? He would only spend € 16,000! Although the initial investment for the purchase of timed taps is higher than for manual taps, he would only start saving money after 112 days.
Timedtaps consume40% less than conventional ones, during a shower it is estimated that the customer consumes about 225 litres per minute, but with a timed tap it would only be 48! And the total cost of this shower, between energy, water and tap, would be around € 1.13 versus € 0.24 with timed products.
There is an even bigger advantage if you decide to install photocell taps, which guarantee maximum hygiene. In fact, photocell taps not only improve consumption even further (70% less than traditional taps), they can also provide maximum hygiene, because they are only touched to mix but not to shut off the water, and are ideal for all those who stay with children, the elderly or the handicapped.
The last advantage, which is certainly very important for the hotelier who wants to focus on the image of his establishment, is that of aesthetics because Idral tapware is able to offer very attractive products, with cutting-edge performance and an after-sales service that reassures the hotelier. For example, the 908.12 timed thermostatic mixer, which offers mixing, thermostatic and timed water control in a single handle. Or the wall-mounted I70 photocell series, which adds to the advantages of the photocell also the ON/OFF system, i.e. the duration of the customer's desired spouting, being able to spout up to one minute or shutting off after a few seconds.
