South Africa has in recent times been hit by so called load shedding which saw large parts of the country being plunged into darkness as the national energy utility failed to meet the electricity demands of the growing South African economy. The load shedding along with many energy saving and solar water heating campaings has raised a great awareness of how precious energy is in South Africa. Recent hikes in energy costs by the national untility and regulator has emphasized the energy crisis even more and most consumers are now looking to save energy and as a result save money. Saving the environment on the other hand has been a secondary factor in many people’s decisions and is typically not the primary goal when ‘going green’.

South Africa has long been a very dry country with most cities and towns around the coutry having had water restrictions imposed on them in recent times as dam levels reached dangerously low levels. Although many water transfer and storage schemes exist in South Africa, a shrinking gap between water supply and demand is inevitable as the economy grows. Who knows, we may just have a very similar situation on the water front as we did on the energy front!

People can choose to change their lifestyles and as a result become more water and energy efficient, however the majority of people do it for the first week or so and then revert back to the more convenient and less efficient ways of doing things.

Easy Energy has launched an exciting new range of imported products which allows one to easily save water without having to change your lifestyle. We strive to save water and energy without loss in comfort. The newly launched range of flow regulators do just that, they regulate the flow of water and as a result reduce the amount of wasted water. Substancial amounts of energy is also saved in the process as less water has to be reheated.

The flow regulators are extremely easy to install and come in many shapes and sizes to meet the requirements of 99.9% of applications. The flow regulators can easily be retrofitted to the majority of showers and hand basins to ensure that just the right amount of water is delivered to do the job. One typically sees a 50% to 60% reduction in water consumption with 6 litres/minute being delivered to basins and 10 litres/minute being delivered to showers.
