Did you know that on a global scale, the water footprint of human consumption amounts to 1,243^m3 of water per person per year? In France, the water footprint per person is 1,875^m3/year. In other words: 1,875,000 liters of water per year!

These are truly impressive figures that make us think about our daily water consumption and the means we can easily put in place to reduce it.

A simple and effective way to reduce water consumption is to opt for a water-saving showerhead, for example. In this article, we'll introduce you to the Hyco showerhead and explain how it can help you considerably reduce your daily water consumption.

What is the water footprint?

‍

Before diving into the details of the Hyco showerhead, it's important to understand what the water footprint really means.

The water footprint measures the amount of water used directly and indirectly by a person, organization or product. It's important to understand this concept to become aware of our water consumption and its impact on available water resources. Here are a few key points to remember:

1. Definition of water footprint : The water footprint includes not only water consumed directly, such as that which we drink or use for showering, but also the water used for the production of goods and services (washing machines, car washes, etc.) that we consume. This also includes water used in agriculture, industry and product manufacturing.
   ‍
2. Impact on water resources : Over-consumption of water has a direct impact on our planet's freshwater resources. With a growing world population and increasing water needs, it is crucial to take steps to reduce our water footprint in order to preserve water reserves and aquatic ecosystems.

The challenges of reducing water consumption in the bathroom

‍

The bathroom is one of the places where water consumption is highest. Reducing our water consumption in this room can be challenging, but there are solutions to make it happen. Here's what you need to know:

1. Showering: Taking a shower can represent a significant amount of water use, especially if the shower is prolonged. It's essential to find ways of reducing water consumption without compromising the relaxing experience of showering. Below, we present the ecological and economic benefits of the Hyco showerhead.
   ‍
2. Toilets: The toilet is another key element of the bathroom where water consumption is significant. Traditional flush toilets use a considerable amount of water each time they are used. It is therefore necessary to find more water-efficient alternatives, such as dual-flush toilets or low-flow toilets.
   ‍
3. Faucets: Faucets are often overlooked when it comes to reducing water consumption in the bathroom. However, leaks or excessive water use can lead to significant wastage. The use of low-flow faucets or aerators can help limit water consumption.

The Hyco showerhead is specially designed to provide a pleasant showering experience while reducing water consumption. Here are just a few of the benefits of this water-saving showerhead:

Saves water, energy and money

• Did you know that the water consumption of a conventional shower varies between 12 and 16 liters per minute, while the first eco-friendly showerheads on the market consume between 6 and 8 liters per minute?

• Thanks to its advanced technology, which reduces water consumption without compromising pressure or shower quality, the Hyco showerhead consumes only 2 to 4 liters per minute - 2x less than the most efficient eco-friendly showerheads on the market today!

• By using the Hyco spray head, you save an average of 10 liters of water per minute, which corresponds to 87,600 liters saved per year. That's a lot of water, energy and money saved!

• In fact, your combined water and energy savings can amount to €860/year thanks to the use of a Hyco showerhead.

Comfort and dynamism

While significantly reducing water consumption, Hyco's showerhead offers a pleasant, dynamic showering experience. This showerhead is equipped with three rotating nozzles, each delivering two jets. Its design limits water flow while optimizing the dynamic pressure of its jets. As a result, it offers the same comfort of use as a traditional showerhead, but consumes much less water. It also performs well in low-pressure conditions. So you can say goodbye to the water pressure problems you're used to experiencing with traditional ecological showerheads.
