Saving water - traditional taps

oldskoo1

Are there any devices I can fit to a traditional tap to help save water?

These are like my taps



They don't have aerators that can be screwed in.

Who in your household is wasting water coming through the taps?

If you fit in line valves into the hot and cold feeds, you can use them to restrict the flow to the taps.

Can you not restrict flow with the current valve ie the tap!

Sorry I'll get my coat.........:o

But that requires a level of 'user intelligence'.

They should be fitted anyway.

Don't be so logical.

Much more practical.

it sound like you have young kids that leave the taps on.

if it is a real problem and you are in danger of flooding you could consider fitting automatic shut off taps

not such a daft question, as some s****asses here seem to think

i considered something like this for an elderly relative who has arthritis and can take ages to turn off a water tap. We got an adjustment thingy from betterware than means she can manage better and it was a cheaper solution, but we would consider this again.

Here an example

It sounds as though speculation without evidence is a tool that you freely wield in order to justify being offensive. Frankly there's only one s****!!! on this thread so far and if you take a good long look in the mirror he'll be staring right back at you.
