The average Briton drinks 2 to 5 litres of water a day and uses in excess of another 145 litres for cooking, cleaning, washing and flushing. However, because of the water used to manufacture products and cultivate food, our lifestyle means that the average Briton really consumes around 3,400 litres every day.

To achieve the target set out in Part G2 for the prevention of undue consumption of water, which must not exceed 125 litres per person per day, we feel, will rely heavily on the water efficiency of the appliances used in the system. There is also an emphasis on the consumer to be more conscious of their own water consumption, although if the manufacturing industry along with the end-user combines efforts a more sustainable lifestyle can be achieved.

As the industry gears up to provide a more comprehensive range of products that conform to the new regulations, there are already some stylish water-saving, flow-regulated basin taps available. With a flow regulator already fitted into the tap it allows a reduction in water wastage to a maximum of 4 litres per min (+/- 15%), achieving significant decrease in water usage, thus allowing the homeowner to be more conscious about their water usage.
