AquaOne Technologies H2Orb Helps You Save Water

Brian Yalung — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:58:54 +0000

Here is something that should be useful for bathrooms in our homes. The toilet is known to be one of the causes for wasted water and the one which escalates our water bill. This could be due to leaks or some defect. But now, all you have to do is attach this device called the H2Orb from AquaOne Technologies.

Simply attach it directly to the water valve behind the toilet and when it spots a leak, it shuts off the water and alerts the user of the leak with an alarm and icon via the featured LCD screen. The whole system operates on a single 3V lithium coin cell battery.

Arc Shower System

Brian Yalung — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:36:01 +0000

We have seen a lot of new concepts made for the bathroom and the Arch Shower System concept seems to be one of them. Boasting of an eco-friendly angle since it has a shower mode and energy-saving mode, among the highlights include recycling the used warm shower water which boosts the intent of a solar-powered water heater.

The whole design is a concept for now but based on the design alone, you can bet that this new bathroom add-on will cost a bundle.

Energy and Water Saving Smart Shower

Brian Yalung — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:05:05 +0000

It is portable, stylish and most of all green. That is what best sums up this Energy Saving and Water Saving Smart Shower. It is designed for the less-abled users to shower easily, combined with an eco-friendly twist in the form of energy and water savings. From the looks of the design, it may look as if it is meant for anyone but that only means how general and ideal the design concept for this item has been.

The shower uses heat exchanger technology to reduce energy consumption, and aerating shower heads to reduce water consumption. The shower has an integrated work basin that allows you to bath babies, wash your hair and other cleaning activities.

Energy and Water Saving Smart Shower

Shower Head that Automatically Shuts Off

Brian Yalung — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:09:17 +0000

Water conservation can surely be attained if you install this showerhead concept. The device, called the Aqualim, rations out a certain quantity of water per shower. After the quantity is used, the shower reduces its flow as a warning, and soon afterwards shuts off.

Thus, if you say to yourself, “I want to get my water usage under X gallons”, the Aqualim makes it extremely easy to do so without constantly worrying if you’ve gone over. Of course if you’re the kind of person who’s sensitive enough to buy an Aqualim, you are probably more water-conscious than most people already. Also, there is a reset button; if you really want a longer shower you can just hit it.

But the device does address the tendency people have to linger in the shower after they’ve already washed up. Even someone who truly does not want to waste water might lose track of time, or simply not shut off the shower because hey, it feels nice in here and it’s pretty early in the morning.

Think of it as an alarm clock for the shower.

Shower Head that Automatically Shuts Off

Ecocamel Showerhead

Brian Yalung — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:49:10 +0000

We have seen a lot of great solutions to conserve water in our bathrooms. Here is another fantastic eco-friendly showerhead that can really help us conserve on water during showertime.

The design-led option is an aerating fitting such as the Ecocamel showerhead, which cleverly mixes air into the flow and so reduces the amount of water required.

Independent research by the UK’s Liverpool John Moores University suggests that the water’s rate of flow is cut nearly in half, from 12 litres per minute with a conventional showerhead to 6.7 litres per minute with the Ecocamel.

It also says that this reduction is unnoticeable to the user, which certainly seemed to be the case when Trendspotter’s testers tried it out. The £24.95 fitting, one of several aerating systems available on the market, is available from www.ecocamel.co.uk.

Electrolux Enviro Steam Gun Z355A

For the people who want to live healthier, it means less use of chemicals and toxins through proper cleaning aids to get rid of mildew or grease you may find in certain areas like the kitchen floors. We are exposed to a lot of chemically induced cleaners but this device offered by Electrolux in the form of the Enviro Steam Gun Z355A is a good alternative. It simply makes use of water which is heated or pressured inside depending on use.

A good alternative and perhaps a one time investment of £39.99 and you can clean the eco-friendly way and maintain healthy homes.

David Allen — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:00:54 +0000

Take a Shower the Eco-Friendly Way with Mira

Brian Yalung — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:17:23 +0000

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.

David Allen — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:00:23 +0000

There must be millions of pairs of flip flops made every single year, but when this foam rubber is cut to make the shape of the flip flop it is inevitable that there will be some excess pieces of this foam left over, but in the past this waste would have just been thrown away, such was the world that we lived in. But things have changed and so has the idea of using waste materials to make other items.

This is where the re:modern Flip Flop Mat has been created, from waste of some simple like a flip flop; a usable door mat has been created. But these are not just suitable as door mats, but could be used as play mats, bath mats, and even for children’s play areas.

The soft but versatile material is ideal for all of these uses and probably a few more that have not been mentioned, whatever the use it has to be better than the landfill. Each mat is made by hand and they are held together with a galvanised metal wire.

Flapperless Toilet

Brian Yalung — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 20:33:47 +0000

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.
