Choose a low flow tap.

Water is a basic and incalculably valuable resource. There are many economical ways to reduce water consumption at home and take an eco-responsible stance by reducing your impact on this important resource.

Our recommendations :

The flow from high-efficiency taps must be less than or equal to 5.7 litres per minute, according to the Watersense standard. Because of the way water is used in the kitchen, low flow taps are not always recommended in the kitchen sink, but it is still a good eco-responsible choice.
Installing aerators reduces the flow at a low cost, without reducing water pressure. Installing an aerator on a standard faucet can reduce a flow of 13.5 litres per minute to just 6.5 litres per minute.
Flow control disks are now available that can be installed on standard or low flow taps to reduce flow to 5.5 litres per minute, compared to 13.5 per minute for a standard tap.
