Because people don't always need a full flush every time they go to the toilet, all Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks push button close coupled WCs have dual flush cisterns as standard. These cisterns have two buttons - the small button delivers four litres for a short, the large button delivers six litres for a long one. This saves over 25% of water versus a six litre cistern. Research indicates that the average domestic toilet is used five times a day, with four uses requiring a short and one use requiring a long flush. Many WCs still use up to 11 litres per flush - by installing a standard six litre cistern customers could save up to 50% of water per year.

And when you look at daily routines, taking a shower often saves water compared to having a bath. A typical seven minute shower with a water restrictor can save between 40 and 80 litres of water.

Taps can also be big water prodigals - pumping out eight litres of water per minute on average. The good news is that Ideal Standard has developed a CLICK technology system which can save over 5,000 litres of water per year in an average bathroom. The technology gives customers an easy control over how much water they want to use. It is a single lever tap which uses innovative cartridges to help limit the flow of water to 50% of the tap's normal capacity.

Sustainable water is a key priority for Ideal Standard but it isn't just about reducing water - it is about using water responsibly.
