The Eco-bathroom is a concept design for a toilet and washbasin unit where the water used in the sink is stored to flush the toilet. The concept design has a sleek and elegant look to it, a modern feel that would look good in a majority of bathrooms while helping you to save on your water usage.

The Eco-bathroom Concept has been designed by Michael Passos. Everyone is aware these days that we must conserve water, and for those on a water meter there is the added incentive to reduce costs. So much perfectly useable water simply runs down a plughole to go to waste in homes all around the world, water than could be used for flushing toilets and other such activities.

The Eco-bathroom combines a toilet with a washbasin, the water used in the basin is stored for use flushing the toilet, helping to reduce the amount of water used significantly. Many toilets can waste up to 9lt of water a flush, and depending on the number of people within a household that can add up to a lot of water. There are other systems that will also achieve this for you currently, either devices to install yourself or complete systems to install, however many can look rather dated, and can even be rather untidy to look at. This concept differs by offering you all the eco-friendly benefits in a modern and stylish system.

The King Of Urinal is a concept design for a urinal that helps to save on water consumption and promotes good hygiene. Each urinal features a sink built into the top of it which allows a user to clean their hands immediately after use and flushes the urine away without requiring any additional water.

The King Of Urinal is a concept design by Jang Wooseok to help make urinals more sustainable in their water usage and to encourage users to wash their hand straight after use. The tap of the urinal appears to be triggered by a sensor, this coupled with the sinks location help to ensure that any germs from urinating are quickly washed away before having any chance to be transferred elsewhere.

The water that is used to wash a users hands is then reused to flush the urinal. This reuse of the water helps to reduce the amount of water required to maintain a toilet facility. Usually fresh water is used to flush a urinal and any water used to wash hands simply becomes waste. By allowing the relatively clean hand washing water to be reused the system would quickly reduce the amount of water needed to ensure a clean and hygienic toilet area.

Clear Rain is a device that allows you to filter rain effectively and efficiently and allows you to attach hosing to take the cleaned rain to where it is needed, for a pool, pond or any form of water storage.

Clean Rain has been designed by Rain Harvesting Pty Ltd to connect to downpipes to collect and filter the rainwater running through them. The intelligent system features a device known as Smart Sense that allows the system to discard the ‘first flush’ of water that comes through the pipes. The first flush of water is high in contaminants: dirt, dust, bird dropping and other such items are washed off the roof and out of piping from the initial burst of rain. Once this first flush has passed the system starts to divert the water passing through its filters to be sent through any piping or hosing connected to it.

The system uses a comb device to remove any leaves from the rainwater, the water is then filtered through a stainless steel wire mesh which removes small contaminants, even tiny mosquito eggs from the water. The Clean Rain system comprises from 90% lead free UPVC, the remainder of it has been constructed from PP. Both materials are suitable for recycling once the system has come to the end of its useful life and the system has been designed to allow you to quickly and easily break it apart into single material items to allow for easy recycling.

The Clean Rain system helps to make using rainwater simpler and allow the water to be used on a wider range of things. The rain water can be stored for watering a garden, or put into a pond. Due to its cleanness it can also be used in a pool, or set to be stored in a large water storage tank for use in toilets or such devices.

By making use of rainwater you help to reduce the amount of processed water you household requires. Processing water for suitability for taps involves many chemicals, many argue it is best to use water without these for your plants, and is sensible to have back up water to help reduce demand on mains water. The Clean Rain system makes collecting cleaned rainwater easy, allowing you to make use of it however you wish.

The Water Pebble is a little device designed by Paul Priestman that you place in a bath tub or shower cubical to monitor the amount of water you use when showering.

The Water Pebble works by recalling how much water was used whet it was first used. From then on it uses this as a benchmark amount, warning you through coloured lights as you go through water usage. Each time you use the Waterpebble it takes off a small amount of waterusage. Because this is such a small amount you barely notice it happening but by sticking to the times set by the pebble by watching its colour you will slowly cut down on how much water you are using in the shower. This helps save on water and energy bills as you use the shower for less time.

The Waterpebble approaches the idea of saving on water usage from a gentle reminder standpoint. It does not stop the water, or scream loudly that you have used too much, it simply runs through coloured lights. These lights are set in a traffic light sequence we are all familiar with to show us when we are being good and using not too much water by glowing green, informing us we have used enough and need to finish up, but glowing amber, and then finally turning red when we have used too much water and it is time to stop.

The Waterpebble can be reset at any point and so a new baseline reading can be recorded. It has been designed to be recyclable, though as it can be reset it can be easily passed on to others who could benifit from it. The Water Pebble costs just £7.99 plus delivery.

Water Saving Aerator Device

With our slightly over-populated planet, pure drinking water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. Even for those of us fortunate to be in the developed world, we shouldn’t waste water. Thankfully there are plenty of water saving gadgets that can help us use water efficiently. The Water Saving Tap Aerator DIY Kit is one such gadget. The water tap aerator is a simple-looking device that attaches to existing modern water taps, introducing air into the water stream to maintain pressure whilst using less water.

The Actual Aerating Element

Typical taps without an aerator produce a water flow of around 15 litres per minute. Using the water saving aerator kit will reduce the water flow to around 6 litres per minute, which means you can use up to 60% less water! If you just think how often you use your water tap…. brushing your teeth, washing your face, washing your hands, washing dishes, cleaning fruit and vegetables, and so on. That’s a heck of a saving in water, and if you’re on a water meter, you’re saving money too!

Key Benefits

• Up to 60% less water usage, saving water and energy.
• Inexpensive device for making wash basins at home and work more economical
• Standardised fitting to fit virtually all modern taps
• The installed capsule can be removed and inserted in designer tap ends
• Uses a limescale-reducing material to prevent scaling

You can purchase just the fittings themselves, or there’s a special kit you can buy which includes an easy fitting tool so that you don’t need any other tools. The aerating inserts are so simple to fit, any DIY-enthusiast will have the inserts installed in just a few minutes.

The inserts are available for £5.49 each, and the kits are available for £19.99. The kit includes two water aerators for standard taps, one 2.2 water aerator for the shower and a tool for installing the water aerators. Prices for both include free delivery.

Ecocamel FIXED Aerated Showerhead is easily added to a shower to save both water and energy. Though it uses a lot less water than a conventional showerhead, due to its design and technology, it produces a ‘spa like’ shower feel.

The Aerated Showerhead uses up to 60% less hot water than other shower heads. A conventional showerhead usually uses 12 litres of water a minute (a power shower can use up to 25 litres a minute) where as the Ecocamel Aerated shower head has been independantly tested by Liverpool John Moores University to only use 7 litres a minute. The showerhead has 36 little ports that produce a low splash spray pattern which should also give a high impact rinse. The technology of the showerhead then uses less water but leaves you feeling as clean as after a conventional showerhead.

The Ecocamel Aerated Showerhead has a sleak modern look due to its chrome exterior design and internal brass fittings. Due to a removable face plate it should be easy to clean to stop the showerhead getting clogged up and scaling.

By using less water it saves money on heating water. Estimates on a family of four taking daily 5 minute showers indicate it would use 40,150 litres less water a year and so would save up to £250 off bills for heating the water and water rates.

If you don’t have the money to upgrade your toilet cistern every few years, you’ve probably got a pretty water-inefficient toilet. Replacing the toilet is not a minor job, as a change in tanks might require the need for new tiles or wallpapering. A lot of hassle, expense and not particularly eco-friendly due to the re-decorating it would require. However, there’s now a way of saving toilet water using your existing tank, by installing a variable flush system, called the Perfect Flush.

The Perfect Flush eco gadget is an affordable electronic device costing just $100, which retrofits onto existing toilet tanks. The device is simple enough to be installed by any DIY enthusiast as it uses existing fixtures and fittings on a toilet to control how much water is used per flush. This means you can choose between a quick and a long flush depending on what business you do in the loo! (I was trying to be discrete… ).

Just installing the device will save between 30% to 50% of the water needed to flush the toilet, meaning you save money straight away. In just 1 to 2 years, you earn your money back with Perfect Flush. So you’ll save money, as well as save water, which are both great reasons to use a water saving widget.
