- It has been tested that if a half liter cup takes 3 seconds to fill, then the water flow from the tap is 10L/in 1 minute. Smart and efective aerators can decrease that amount to 4L/per minute.
- Average person uses 50L of water per day.
- In an aerator 1L water is mixed with approximately 3L of air which creates smooth flow of water and saves water in the process. Less water comes out because the water is sprayed evenly.
- Tap tops based on EcoSmart technologies can save up to 60% of water. At first glance human eye cannot make the difference, but the difference is noticably huge.
- Aerators second task is to regulate water flow. If water flow is heavy, then the aerator decreases its’ opening. If water flow is narrow, then it widens.
