4. Saving water

How to use less water – without even trying

Water is one of our most precious resources and now more than ever we must do everything possible to take care of it. Do you waste a lot of water when you wash dishes or your food? It is time to change our habits.

Happily, some modern products can do the water-saving for you.

For example, a pressure-compensating aerator is standard across the whole IKEA range of taps and showers. This reduces the amount of water coming out – by up to 50% in some bathroom taps – but keeps the flow at the level you want. So, you use less energy to heat it, even more when the tap has a cold-start function.
