Water and energy saving taps: 5 features for an eco-friendly bathroom
Small details can make a huge difference to the environment and to your utility bills. Backed by the European Water Label, in this article we present 5 brassware technologies that help you save water in the bathroom and integrate sustainability into your everyday life.

Roca’s automatic water saving taps feature an electronic sensor that only activates when it detects presence near the basin.

Another option for a water saving tap is a tap fitted with a flow restrictor. Set to either 8, 6 or 5 litres per minute, flow limiters allow reduced water consumption while maintaining maximum comfort.

For increased energy efficiency, basin taps can be fitted with Roca’s Cold Start opening system. Cold Start prevents the involuntary activation of the boiler because the lever’s starting position (front-facing) is exclusively reserved for cold water.
