Water scarcity has become a critical challenge worldwide, with more frequent and prolonged droughts threatening the availability of this essential resource. With that in mind, it is crucial for every one of us to help save water whenever we can. One effective way to do that is by installing high-efficiency taps in our homes, which enable a more conscientious and responsible use of water.
Given how important it is to save water, households need to find effective ways to reduce daily consumption. One highly effective option is to install high-efficiency taps that have been specifically designed to maximise water savings without compromising functionality. These devices offer a range of characteristics that include flow restrictions, motion sensors and pressure regulators for precise control over how much water is used.
In this article, we explore how TRES is offering taps and technologies that help to reduce unnecessary water use and encourage savings.
TRES technologies that help improve energy efficiency
At TRES, we work hard every day to make the world a more sustainable place. Our R&D team has developed cutting-edge technologies that help to save water, such as our Tres-Duo® System, a low water consumption system in which the tap lever can be opened in two positions. The middle position consumes half as much water. 90% of the times we open the sink or kitchen tap, there is no need to use the maximum flow. This system helps you consume less water and energy.
A great number of our products use this system, which is a significant step forward in this field and one that, besides helping to improve the environment, also lowers your bill at the end of the month.
The other features we have added to our products include built-in aerator nozzles, which produce a fast-flowing and uniform water/air mix from the tap. Perceived water pressure is not affected even though only half the water that would be consumed in the absence of an aerator nozzle is actually being used.
We offer flow limiters to increase this water saving even more, enabling maximum water flow to be adjusted by the user. This system reduces water consumption while maintaining user comfort. It can lead to a water saving of up to 48%.
Which products should you choose?
At Tres, we have products with materials and systems that perfectly suit the needs of each user. Our new Fuji collection is a fine example of that claim, which includes the Tres-Duo® System mentioned above. We also have a broad range of timer taps, which are perfect for public spaces where attempts need to be made to minimise unnecessary water use. Besides being very easy to use, our electronic taps enable water consumption to be reduced and contact-free operation to be offered that help to keep any space cleaner. The way these taps work is very simple: infra-red sensors open and close the tap, preventing users from consuming more water than absolutely necessary.
We have a long list of options, all of them meticulously designed to best meet every user requirement in terms of both design and functionality. Our entire research, development and manufacturing process is undertaken at our premises in Vallirana (Barcelona). Because manufacturing and developing avant-garde technologies is perfectly possible within Spanish borders.
