Innovative tap design could have significant benefits to the environment, in light of new advice from leading industry experts.According to advice on reducing wasted energy in the nations homes, released in conjunction by the Energy Saving Trust (EST), greater efficiency in water usage could have tremendous knock-on effects.If everyone making a humble cuppa only boiled the water they needed, rather than overfilling the kettle each time, the electricity saved in a year would run the countrys street lighting for seven months.This startling fact will be music to the ears of the owners of any one of a number of modern tap models from leading manufacturers, such as Frankes Little Butler range and the In-Sink-Erator models, which deliver boiling water at the turn of a handle.Not only do these models reduce energy wastage but they also, like every new quality tap model, eliminate wasted water. Another piece of advice from the EST states that dripping hot water taps can contribute to significant losses.A single dripping tap loses enough water to half-fill a bath each week, amounting to some 26 baths per year.These two startling facts reaffirm how important a quality, innovative tap can be in kitchens up and down the country.
