Water utilization has been a growing thorn on the side of water conservation and much of this happens at home. Particularly in taking showers, the amount of water we use will go to waste if we do not have the proper means of controlling the flow of water from our pipes to cleanse or bathe ourselves.

Mira has launched some great solutions to control this issue as it has offered in the market various new shower solutions such as the Mira Minilite Eco and Mira Miniduo and Eco to help control the flow of water each time we take a shower. With their help, we can avoid wasting too much water and using the right amount to have a fresh feeling of cleanliness with water to spare.

The new Mira Minilite Eco combines the Minilite with the eco benefits of a 6lpm flow regulator, while the new Mira Miniduo and Eco showerhead combines the Miniduo with the eco friendly Mira Eco showerhead.

The Mira Minilite Eco uses a factory fitted flow regulator to restrict the flow to 6 lpm, with an 8 lpm alternative included in the pack. It comes in both exposed and built-in versions and is half the size of standard valves with single sequential control. It’s thermostatic and comes with a three year guarantee.

One key resource that we are totally disregarding is water. We need water to drink and cleanse our bodies. We also need water to flush our toilets. While all of these are valid uses of water, we should remember that control on the amount of water we see go down the drain needs proper maintenance and control especially in toilets.

Much of our toilets depend on the level of plumbing we have on them. But for this new Flapperless toilet, it flushed on its own whenever needed. At least this way, it helps control the amount of water needed the next time we flush our toilets.

Available for sale at $131.67

Patented flapperless toilet has no flapper to ever replace, 1.6 gal/flush maximum. Large footprint covers existing flooring. Excellent flushing power, approved by IAPMO, exceeds ANSI/ASME/CSA low consumption standards.
