Water is one of the planets most important resources and without it life itself would not be possible. Whether you’re renting a property or you are a home owner every month you will receive a water bill with an attached cost to however much water you have consumed. Water rates can be expensive and it can be difficult to find efficient ways to save water. However we have found a small attachment which is screwed on to the end of a tap and ensures a non-splashing stream and creates a mixture of water and air. This small device isn’t just environmentally friendly but will also help to reduce your water bills and has proven to reduce consumption between 40 to 70%.
Much like your water bill we are sure that you dread your electricity bill even more. We live in a world where everything we need for day to day living needs to be charged or have a constant power source, meaning the more devices we have, the more money we spend. An electric timer switch is a great way to decrease your products energy consumption and to make sure that they switch off when not in use, with simple dials and settings they make a great home addition for if you want to save some energy.
These types of lightbulbs are a recent addition to the lighting industry but have become very popular amongst home owners as they provide a simple way to adjust brightness levels, light tones and heat output.
