Tap for water-saving faucet

The issues of saving water consumption at all times remain relevant. Especially when tariffs from year to year grow in an almost geometric progression. And now, when counters are installed in most consumer homes, it's quite an important question to reduce spending on using this important resource. But how to do it, because you will not become less likely to take hygienic procedures or wash dishes only once a day? Manufacturers of sanitary accessories offer another solution - to buy a nozzle on the faucet to save water.

How does the water-saving nozzle work?

Today in any sanitary ware shop you will be offered a choice of special nozzles for the mixer's gander, which, as the manufacturer promises, will save you from 30 to 70%. But how does it work? In fact, everything is simple. The principle of operation of these devices is such that water will flow out of your tap in a limited volume, but the pressure does not decrease at all. So you should not feel any inconvenience. The mixer nozzle for water saving has a special design, due to which the flow of water, which is first eliminated, is enhanced by using a phenomenon such as aeration. It consists in the saturation (mixing) of the air with a jet of water. A special mesh divides the flow into a large number of small jets. As a result, when the tap is opened, a jet strikes, which is quite enough to wash your hands well, wash the plates or rinse the apple. With the constant use of such a nozzle-aerator on the faucet, water savings can reach, as was indicated above, not less than 30%. In the best cases, this figure reaches 60-70%.

And this, by the way, is not all the "pluses" of using a water-saving nozzle:

  1. Install an interesting device easily, this is a force even an inexperienced housewife.
  2. The design provides a uniform flow that does not splash water droplets into the sides.
  3. The movable part of the nozzle on the hinge allows you to direct the flow of water in the direction that you need at the moment, and this greatly simplifies the washing of products or things.
  4. Increase the "life" of the filter system in your home by reducing the load on it.

How to choose a nozzle on the tap?

In order not to become a "victim" of an unsuccessful purchase, we recommend that you listen to our recommendations. Some manufacturers make a miracle device from ordinary metal with chrome plating, which is similar in appearance to strong stainless steel, which is not afraid of constant contact with water. As a result, after a short period of time, the nozzle on the valve will fail. The product of stainless steel will last a long time and will save you a lot of money.

In addition to the device with a mechanical effect on sale, you can find sensor nozzles to save water. They are also fixed to the top of the nozzle, but have a significant difference in the form of a sensor. The built-in photocell reacts at the same time when the hands and not before, and let the aerated water flow. Together with that, it's only necessary to remove your hands, and the sensor nozzle on the faucet will react again to save water, but only by turning off the jet.

Saving is natural: when cleaning teeth or washing dishes, the tap is usually turned on, and a huge amount of water flows into the siphon, which in the end will still have to be paid for. Instant response of the sensor nozzle will protect you from paying extra cubic meters.

I would like to advise you to purchase water-saving nozzles only with a quality certificate (you need to ask the seller) and reliable manufacturers. Substandard products from artisan Chinese enterprises are unlikely to please you with strength and long service life.
