Scientists are alarming - if we do not radically change our lifestyle immediately, our destructive impact on the environment will be irreversible. You may feel that as an individual you can't do anything about it. In reality, however, it is quite the opposite - our everyday, small choices are the beginning of the ecological revolution. And it's not just about trivial things like waste segregation. By choosing energy-saving technologies in your home, you are co-creating a trend that has the potential to change the face of energy and industry in the long run. Below you will find an example of 5 ecological Grohe solutions that will help you save water!
From the article you will learn more about everyday solutions that improve the environment. We will also introduce you to the Grohe brand offer - modern products that should be in your home!
A faucet that saves water
Wasting domestic water is one of the biggest environmental challenges we currently face. We don't even realize how many liters go unnecessarily into the sewage system. This happens, for example, when washing hands, teeth or shaving. We should turn off the water whenever we are not using it, and it is easy to forget about it, especially when both hands are occupied.
The Grohe brand comes to the rescue by providing fittings that automatically turn off the water. The Grohe Bau Cosmopolitan E touchless faucet is equipped with a motion sensor that turns it on when the user brings their hands close to it and turns it off when they remove them. It is also a solution that has a positive impact on the hygiene of using the bathroom - the faucet is activated completely touch-free. An additional advantage of this model is the built-in aerator, which minimizes the water flow to 5.7 l/min.
It's not everything. You can purchase a remote control for the Bau Cosmopolitan E electronic faucet, which allows you to activate functions such as automatic flushing, thermal disinfection, cleaning mode or changing the motion detection range. The cleaning mode can also be started using the infrared sensor. The battery has low energy consumption, so it is environmentally friendly and economical in operation.

Shower instead of bath?
It has been said for years that a quick shower is much more environmentally friendly than a bath in a bathtub full of water. The fact is that by using EcoJoy technology in the shower with an integrated limiter, we can minimize the flow to 9.5 l/min . You will find such solutions in, among others , Grohe Rainshower shower taps and shower sets, Grohe Euphoria and Grohe NewTempesta shower systems.
Contrary to popular belief, you can also save water while bathing. Modern technologies allow you to reduce its consumption by up to 50 percent . For this purpose, for example, the Grohe EcoButton saving button is used, which reduces the water flow. This is a perfect solution for everyone who prefers a quick shower to lying in the bathtub.

Ecological cisterns
The Grohe Rapid SL collection of concealed frames are sanitary systems that guarantee lower water consumption when flushing the toilet . They use two technologies that will allow you to save every day. One of them is the Start-Stop function, which is used to cut off the flow at any time. So you don't have to use the entire contents of the tank if a smaller amount of water is enough to flush the toilet. The second solution is the ability to adjust the volume of the Dual Flush. Thanks to this function, you can adjust the tank in such a way that the standard flow consumes 3 - 6 liters of water, and the increased flow consumes 6 - 9 liters of water. You will quickly notice how much you can save per year.
Ways to save water in the kitchen
When washing dishes in the sink, we waste a lot of hot water. How to deal with this? Preventing mixing of hot and cold streams when not necessary. The GROHE Silk Move ES head will help us with this, which is available in selected manufacturer's kitchen faucets. When their levers are set in the middle position, there is no water mixing. Thanks to this, you can save as much as 31 liters and, at the same time, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 279 kilograms!

Saving drinking water
Due to the ecological lifestyle, many people give up buying bottled water. In most Polish cities, tap water is perfectly safe for consumption, so not only can you save some money, but we also minimize the use of plastic. Tons of bottles that take hundreds of years to decompose are a huge challenge for the environment, so it is worth drinking drinking water from the tap .
To make sure your tap water is healthy and tasty, use the innovative Grohe Blue system. It is responsible for filtering and cooling tap water and saturating it with carbon dioxide. This means that your kitchen faucet becomes an unlimited source of delicious drinking water, in one of three variants to choose from: carbonated, medium carbonated or still. Statistics say that by using this solution in one household, approximately 800 plastic bottles will not be released into the environment. It doesn't end there! It is also a way to save water that would normally be wasted on the production process. How is this possible? It turns out that producing 1 liter of bottled water requires as much as 7 liters of utility water needed to prepare bottles, transport goods, etc.

These are intuitive solutions that will allow you to reduce water consumption during activities such as the morning and evening toilet. What else?
