As a room responsible for more than two-thirds of water usage in the home, actively eliminating water waste in the bathroom helps reduce water consumption. Yet, alongside helping the environment, by saving water in the bathroom, customers can also potentially cut their water bills, which is particularly helpful for those homes on a water metre.
Fortunately, there are several bathroom fixtures and fittings that can help keep water usage to a minimum and all are budget-friendly. Here at The Bathroom Showroom, we suggest two valuable ways to save water in the bathroom, that you can help your customers implement with ease.
Easy Ways to Save Water in the Bathroom

How to Save Water in the Shower - Choose an Energy-Efficient Shower Choice
A crucial bathroom fixture, understandably not many customers are willing to forego their shower, even during a cost of living crisis. Yet, what many might not realise is that despite cutting showering time to save water, if their shower isn't an energy-efficient choice, unfortunately, such actions have little effect.
With showers responsible for a staggering 34% of the water consumed in the home, an old shower could well be using as much as 15 litres of water each minute. When you compare that to an energy-efficient shower that uses around 6 litres per minute, that inefficient shower could be costing your customer way more than they think.
Energy-efficient showers will boast high EPC ratings, an energy efficient wattage, an energy-efficient shower head, and an eco-mode, and are overall quicker to reach the desired temperature.
The Bathroom Showroom sells several energy-efficient showers of all types, thus helping customers save water in their bathroom in an instant. From modern mixer showers like the Methven Aurajet and Satinjet, traditional mixer showers like the Bristan 1901, electric showers like the Mira Sport Max, to digital showers like the Aqualisa Quartz Classic, these are all designed to continue providing exceptional performance all the while reducing water and indeed costs.

How to Save Water in the Bath and Basin - Choose Water-Saving Taps
Another vital bathroom fixture, bathroom taps are certainly put through their paces throughout the day. When you add in several members of the home using these taps, these fixtures need to be at their peak performance at all times.
Yet, as some of the more commonly used bathroom fixtures, taps can also create the most water waste. This is especially true if the taps are old and need repair, continually leak, or most commonly are left on for considerable amounts of time.
From those homes with young children that accidentally leave the taps running when using the bathroom, to those who brush their teeth with the tap running throughout, taps are responsible for as much as up to 5,550 litres of water waste in the bathroom each year.
Taps that include energy-saving devices can both eliminate unnecessary water usage and reduce high water bills. Cold Start Technology works by avoiding the unnecessary use of hot water, Eco-Click provides a water-saving feature, and Soft Turn Technology gives you precision and control over your water flow.
The Bathroom Showroom sells several superb tap types that offer a selection of water-saving options, thus reducing water usage and spending in the bathroom. From the Roca Victoria, iflo Astria, and Roca Carelia, to the iflo Reno, iflo Waterscade, and Methven Amio, replacing old and inefficient bathroom taps with those designed to help save water can help customers make effective changes to the way they use water in this room.
Saving Water in the Bathroom Creates a More Eco-Friendly Bathroom
By encouraging customers to take advantage of the most innovative bathroom technology you can help them select more efficient bathroom fixtures and fittings that save both water and money.
