If you need to buy a new water faucet, choose an energy-efficient faucet with reduced eco flow. Modern faucets incorporate various mechanisms reducing water consumption, for example, the hot water saving function – the handle always returns to the default position, so that when you open the water supply, lukewarm (or completely cold) water flows initially, and not immediately hot, thus preventing consumption additional energy from increased water temperature when the water supply is reopened.

Water saving function – by locking the handle in a specific maximum position, it is also possible to set the maximum water flow per minute that flows through the faucet, etc.

Energy-efficient faucets can use as little as 5 litres per minute, while a standard faucet's flow rate averages 10–12 litres per minute. There are also water faucets with an eco-button, which, depending on the faucet model, reduces the water flow by 10–40%.

Thermostatic faucets are also available, which help obtain the required water temperature immediately, without wasting water unnecessarily – despite the fluctuations in the temperature of the incoming cold and hot water, a constant water temperature is always maintained. Thus, it is possible to set 17 °C instead of the standard 22–24 °C.

For some time now, various models of non-contact faucets have been available on the market, which were developed by sanitary ware manufacturers, following the development of technology and world trends. These faucets work with the help of built-in sensors – to start the water flow, you only need to bring your hands closer to the spout of the faucet. As soon as your hands are moved away, the water supply is automatically cut off, so you will never forget to turn off the water. These faucets meet strict hygiene requirements, which are especially important in the public sector.

Certain faucet models can be connected with the Bluetooth function, and using the manufacturer's app, it is possible to easily adjust and maintain faucet settings, and monitor water consumption as well as battery life.

It is also possible to improve an already installed water faucet by adding a special nozzle – an aerator. How does it work? When water flows at a certain speed along small openings in the system, a suction force is formed, which adds air to the water, creating a strong, bubbling jet of water. Thus, it is possible to reduce water consumption by up to 50%, respectively. Without the aerator, the water consumption is on average 10 to 12 litres per minute, and with the aerator – 5 to 6 litres per minute.

Currently, in more and more faucets, the aerator is built into the standard mechanism. You can see this by the water jet – if the water does not flow like a transparent stream, but frothy and bubbling, the faucet has an aerator function.
