The valve has been recognised as a significant development in the field of water saving by the award of the Waterwise marque.

This marque is awarded annually to products which reduce water wastage or raise the awareness of water efficiency.

Water saving is currently under review by the Government, the resulting response is due any day and the expectation is that the Government’s desire to encourage more efficient use of water will be endorsed.

With climate change and aging population and an every increasing number of homes being built to meet the needs of the continually growing population, there is great pressure on our demand for water. The valve is already proving its worth in a number of commercial installations with a general saving on water heating bills too.

Working with Water Management Solutions UK, Cottam and Preedy proposed the use of their patented CP961® Multi for a pilot scheme. Results showed actual savings of over 20%, clearly indicating the levels of water saving which can be achieved in commercial washroom situations.

Applied to the domestic marketplace for new house build in particular, the savings could be equally dramatic.
