A new online water use calculator has been developed by Triton to help raise awareness of how much water and energy is used by a typical electric or mixer shower. The shower manufacturer’s online water and energy savings calculator asks simple questions about household occupants and typical showering habits, before providing personalised tips and suggestions for improvement.
Information is presented in a relatable way, such as comparing how many bottles of water are saved by showering for just a minute less – with the overall aim being to prompt genuine behavioural changes that are of tangible benefit to the environment.
Tina Simpson, marketing director at Triton Showers, says: “We are committed to creating resources that will help everyone, from installers and specifiers, through to merchants and housing associations. Whether it’s in the form of a calculator which provides expert advice, or manufacturing intelligent water heating technology and electric showers, we are constantly reviewing our offering to limit water waste and lower energy consumption.
“One of the biggest challenges we face as an industry is facilitating change from both sides. Alongside delivering increasingly sustainable solutions, we must work to educate the wider population. As with any significant change in the construction industry, there are a number of determining factors. Government policy and regulations are key, but manufacturers have a really important role to play too. Not just in terms of providing the latest products to be put into homes, but in nurturing impactful behavioural changes among consumers.”
