What does the water saving in the apartment depend on?
It is known that the most relevant in today's living conditions of mankind are issues of careful attitude to natural resources (water).
But a thrifty economy is not possible without a proper saving of resources, which allows to keep the family budget "afloat". This does not mean maniacal water savings, which can be solved by choosing an economical mixer.
The maximum flow capacity of the mixer and the average water flow in the apartment is:
• Kitchen faucet - 6 liters per minute
• Bathroom faucet - 15 liters per minute.
Focusing on the average indicator of the capacity of the mixer, it is possible to set the water control automatic with a significant amount of water flow or increase the pressure otherwise.
It should be remembered that water saving is possible only with the use of quality mixers.
Types of economical mixers
A simple economical option can be called batch mixers.
The principle of operation of a batch mixer is simple: after pressing the lever or button the mixer will give the prescribed amount of water (about 400 grams) and the shut-off valve of the mixer will automatically close. This portion of water pours out within 10 seconds, allowing you to calmly wash your hands.
A more advanced economical mixer is a sensor that controls the supply of water using a solenoid valve and a sensor. It is undeniable that the portable and sensory mixers provide proper hygiene and good water savings.
In this case, the primary role will be played by the components of the mixer, namely the cartridge installed in the mixer and the aerator (the translator).
Why does a cartridge need a cartridge
Mixing of water in the single-lever mixers is carried out using a cartridge, which is a plastic housing. The cartridge body consists of two parts. Cartridges for the mixer differ in geometric dimensions, as well as the shape and number of working holes in the lower part. The lower part of the cartridge is equipped with several holes with rubber gaskets.
Such gaskets are sealing and are designed to seal the mixer and cartridge tightly. The cartridge in the mixer is located at the expense of plastic latches. In addition to the cartridge in the mixer are the rod and ceramic discs. The handle of the mixer is put on the rod, and the ceramic discs mix and press the water. Therefore, the cartridge can be safely called the "center for managing the economical process" of water supply.
It is recommended to purchase a cartridge for a mixer in branded stores of well-known brands of sanitary ware.
Cartridges from manufacturers allow to make adjustment of pressure of water. For this purpose, special adjusting screws on the stem and ring are installed. With constant heads of water, the cartridge can be set without unnecessary turns left and right, as well as the movement of the lever in two directions.
However, the cartridge is not subject to ceramic repair and it is difficult to pick up the accessories, so it is recommended to purchase a new cartridge.
This ergonomics of the cartridge in the mixer is the main link in the overall economy of the water resource.
Aerator for economical mixer
In addition to the replaceable cartridge for the mixer, calculated on an average of 500,000 operating cycles, you can achieve significant water savings by using an aerator. The aerator for the mixer (mixer nozzle) is a nozzle on the end of the spout. It looks like a strainer with small cells.
Aerators for rotary mixers are made by the manufacturer from stainless steel, some models are supplemented with a silicone coating of the working part.
The operation of the aerator for the mixer is carried out according to the principle of vortex formation. In the vortex chamber, the water is ground to microscopic drops, which are mixed with air. The air stream saturated with water forms in a continuous stream. The aerator becomes a kind of dissipator of the jet.
But, the whole secret is that the stream of water visually becomes quite powerful, and the water becomes light and soft. The fantastic possibilities of a water jet saturated with air help to reduce water consumption, do not believe it, by 80 percent! There are the following ways of attaching aerators to the mixer: with external and internal thread.
The mounting methods must be considered when choosing an economical mixer. In addition, you can save water in the shower. What should be done in this case? At the point of attachment of the shower hose, a water flow regulator is installed, which saves up to 50 percent of the life-giving moisture.
Such latent possibilities of water are skillfully used by manufacturers of sanitary equipment. Mixers series berkel 4800 will reduce water consumption by half due to the use of innovative technologies. Cartridge diameter of 25 mm. with a small water capacity and limiting its consumption to 5 liters per minute.
Which mixer is economical to choose?
Currently, the most promising economical mixers are the Berkel 4800 series. What characterizes the Berkel 4800 series? The first thing that impresses is the stylish design and quality materials. Mixers are made of high-quality brass with a significant content of copper. Ceramic cartridges Sedal (Spain), size 25, 35 mm. maintain a significant cycle of openings / closures.
For an even distribution of the water jet, the mixers are equipped with a built-in Neoperl CASCADE aerator.
