Water Saving Bathrooms from Ripples

Infra-red Electronic Basin Mixer Tap from Ripples

Water conservation is the hot topic of the moment, and Ripples is proud to offer you a range of high quality, water saving appliances. They say that being “green” does not have to mean a compromise in style.

Flushing a toilet can often waste up to 9 litres of water in one flush, so introducing a dual flush bathroom toilet reduces the water level to 5 litres. Ripples have the Keramag F1 Bathroom Toilet (designed by Porsche) which has a dual flush and also features “Keratect” – a special glaze which has been designed to reduce the usage of detergents.

Replacing a dripping tap with a new bathroom mixer tap such as the Grohe Europlus E Infra-red electronic basin mixer tap (pictured) will reduce your water bills. Also, leaving a tap running whilst brushing your teeth can use up to 5 litres per minute, so the infra-red auto switch off feature will help with this.

Alternatively, you can create a relaxing haven in your bathroom using aromatherapy candles, essential oils and chromatherapy lighting. Ripples can install this colourful lighting in any bathroom – choose from greens and blues to restore, yellows to cheer and invigorate or reds to stimulate.
