Water-Saving Wonders: Eco-Friendly Solutions by Watertec

March 12, 2025

In the present age when conservation of water has become more urgent than before, the incorporation of intelligent plumbing fixtures can lead to considerable minimization of wastage of water with an even better performance. Pressure Compensating Washers (PCW)-equipped bib taps, showers, Basin mixers & wall mixers are crafted in a manner to conserve water, giving effective utilization without impacting its performance. 

Some of the key functions and benefits of PCWs include  

1. Flow Regulation: PCWs provide a constant flow rate through changes in water pressure. This makes it possible to save water by keeping the flow consistent 

2. Water Savings: With a fixed flow, PCWs can save substantial amounts of water. For instance, a PCW can save as much as 7% water compared to regular fixtures 

3. Simple Installation: PCWs can be simply retrofitted to installed fixtures like showerheads and taps without significant plumbing work being required 

4. Two-way Functionality: In addition to flow control, PCWs are also used as washers to seal out leaks.

5. Eco-Friendly Impact: With water conservation, PCWs lead to environmental friendliness and a decrease in overall demand on the water supply.

Adjustable Showers: Intelligent Flow Control 

Adjustable showers with PCW go a long way in water conservation as they are known for sustaining efficiency at different pressures.

1. At 1.0 Bar, a normal adjustable shower takes 6.65 liters per minute, while an adjustable water-saving shower takes just 4.29 liters per minute, which is a 35% water saving. 

2. At 3.0 Bar, water savings go up to 41%, maximizing water use even at increased pressures. 

3. Filling a 15-liter jar takes much less time with water-saving models, enhancing efficiency without wastage. 

4. At 1.0 Bar, the water consumption is lowered from 4.70 liters per minute (standard shower) to 3.80 liters per minute (water-saving shower), achieving 19% savings. 

5. At 3.0 Bar, water savings are even higher at 31%, indicating that such showers are very effective in reducing wastage of water without compromising on functionality. 

 
Bib taps with PCW-  

These functional taps are for daily use and installed in the bathrooms or kitchen that exhibit high water efficiency. 

1. At 1.0 Bar, a typical bib tap consumes 9.83 liters per minute, whereas the water-saving model consumes 3.68 liters per minute, conserving an impressive 63% of water. 

2.At 3.0 Bar, water savings are still high at 61%, avoiding unnecessary water loss. 

 
Sustainability Through Intelligent Plumbing Decisions 

By integrating the Pressure Compensating Washer (PCW) device into daily plumbing fittings considerable water savings can be realized. These technologies offer long-term advantages, including: 

These technologies have long-term benefits such as: 

1. Lower water bills with less consumption. 
2. Consistent water flow, regardless of areas having varying pressures. 
3. Environmental sustainability by minimizing water wastage. 

Moreover, our Wall Mixers, which are suitable for bathrooms, and Basin Mixers, which are suitable for wash basins, both have a honeycomb aerator that increases the flow of water by making it foamy, thereby making water more efficient. These features not only promote environmental sustainability through reduced wastage of water but also improve user experience in domestic and commercial settings.  

Conclusion 

With increasing demands for water conservation, the decision to opt for water-conserving showers and bib taps with PCW technology is a need of the hour. These products not only provide better user comfort but also help pave the way for a sustainable future by ensuring that each drop of water is utilized in an efficient manner. 
 
Upgrading to state-of-the-art water-efficient plumbing technologies is a move towards an environmentally friendly way of life, demonstrating that making small alterations to daily life can have a big impact on the environment.
