摘要：Using less water doesn't always mean doing without. We can easily cut back without changing our lifestyle, by simply changing our slapdash towards water and by installing water-saving devices.Today, consumers are shifting their focus from conventional gadgets of water usage to modern water saving gadgets like air assisted flush, air assisted shower, flow limiting taps, sensor taps, instant water heater, and from loading washing machines.By selecting and installing these water-saving devices and appliances, one can reduce water consumption, especially in newly constructed homes. In existing homes, one can modifythe water fixtures in place to.Water Flow Restriction DevicesThese devices detect and shut off the supply to burst or leaking pipes automatically. It monitors the complete water system day and night and shuts down the supply if a leak isdetected. It works on a system that monitors the duration of flow every time water is used, and flow automatically stops on reaching a pre-selectedmaximum flow time. It's a battery operated device that monitors water supply 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It allows water to be used normally, but if a leak or abnormal flow is detected, it cuts off the water supply instantly saving one from irrational water wastage and water bills.Bangalore-based MV instruments haveintroduced the water level control unit. This is an electronic device, which is electrically connected to the pump set motor. Once connected, it automatically switches on or off the pump set motor depending upon the water levels in the overhead tank and underground sump/well/bore well. The systems work on the basis of low voltage signals to sense the water level in tanks. Sensors are placed at the required levels in the tank, so when water reaches particular set levels, a signal is transmitted to the water level controller unit and the pump set motor automatically switches off
