Taps and Cisterns

During the past two decades the demand for water has been steadily increasing, sometimes resulting in water shortages. Forecasts suggest that this will continue, highlighting the need to conserve and carefully manage our water supplies. It is possible to reduce demand for water in buildings substantially while maintaining modern hygiene standards. Installing efficient water saving appliances is important, as is installing water saving taps.

Tubs and Tiles offer a range of Mono Basin Mixers that are suitable for home, public and commercial use. The mono basin mixer is a tap that mixes the cold and hot water through one flow instead of putting on two taps, hence saving you water. Tubs and Tiles stock the Metro range from Crosswater which are suitable for low pressure water systems.

A dual flush toilet cistern is a unit that has two buttons - one for a full flush and a second for a half flush. Tubs & Tiles understand that you don’t always need a full flush every time you go to the toilet, thats why we stock Armitage Shanks push button close coupled WCs that have dual flush cisterns as standard. These cisterns have two buttons - the small button delivers 4 litres for a short flush, the large button delivers 6 litres for a long flush. This saves over 25% of water vs a 6 litre cistern. Older toilet cisterns are much less water efficient and will use approximately ten litres of water per flush.
