These nine days, there was 90mm of rain (the average for the month of December is 92mm) which means that 90 liters of rain fell on each square meter, c ' is wet everywhere! This observation provides no obvious solution to saving water. Water conservation becomes a major environmental problem, and because we pay for our water supply, also an economic problem. The organic market
St Pern, and between Plouasne Becherel, our friend Beatrice Mera, has a stall and sells cosmetics and bio-ecological essential oils, she also sells some equipment to conserve water and water filters. Because of its technical sales, which packs a punch, or perhaps because we felt sorry for her on that cold fall, we bought two things to put on faucets (one for mixer taps in the kitchen and one for the bathroom) and a head save for the shower. I had already seen the stuff for faucets, but I am wary of the shower head, because I like the feel of a powerful shower. She convinced us that the shower spray was strong and very pleasant.
Installation was fairly easy. The valves have a diffuser with pliers to unscrew, there is an adapter ring which gives two possibilities in diameter. And beware if the valve head and plastic as you screw. The shower head was a complete replacement, but fortunately all health facilities seem to have almost all the same standards. Tips on taps, gazéifient water, so it is the same feeling of moisture, but with less water. The shower was so nice that I thought there was no differance consumption and therefore I had wasted my 30 €! D'or, experience with measuring jug and shows that you can see in the picture above.
flow to the taps changed from about 12 seconds per liter to 20, but the shower, for which I had doubts, is increased from 10 to 28 seconds per liter per liter. Beatrice told us that we can recover the investment in less than a year. It was also interesting because of the experience, know how quickly pulls out a liter of tap water. Apart from lack of water, there is also the issue of energy and chemicals used to purify water that supplies drinking water in the house. Recovery of the rain becomes very interesting for the garden or cleaning the car (see my blog Friday, August 4 in English only!). You can find Beatrice Saturday market in St Pern and you can send an email to contact@herbes-aux-anges.com . I have two suggestions for books on this subject for Santa: English, The Water Book by Judith Thornton (Pub. by The Centre of Alternative Technology). and, in French, A Little Place To Relieve Planet by Christopher Elaine. (My translation has been corrected by our friend, Marine, thank you!)
