Businesses can save money with new water-saving products

Twyford Bathrooms today announced that ten of its WC's have been awarded a place on the Water Technology List having successfully met the criteria to enable Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) claims.

The Water Technology List, developed and managed by Defra and the Inland Revenue, in partnership with Envirowise, will help businesses save money in the short and long-term by encouraging them to invest in technologies and products that reduce water use and improve water quality.

Water savings are a key area for all businesses. According to Envirowise, manufacturing companies can easily save between 30% and 50% of water and wastewater costs through inexpensive changes to their working practices.

Martin Gibson, Director of Envirowise, said, “The Water Technology List is making it easy for businesses to make important decisions to improve their water use and water quality and save money at the same time. Businesses will benefit in the long-term through reduced water costs and improved water efficiency and in the short-term by claiming an Enhanced Capital Allowance.”

He added, “Twyford Bathrooms is one of the product and technology manufacturers leading the industry forward. One of the objectives of offering the ECA is to encourage innovation and to encourage companies such as Twyford Bathrooms to come up with new technologies to improve water use and water quality.”

Twyford’s product falls into the category on the Water Technology List of Efficient Toilets.

More efficient toilets save water by reducing the amount of water used in flushing. Typically, water savings of up to 25% can be achieved through the specification of efficient WCs. Toilet flushing accounts for about 50% of the water used in commercial offices (in homes the figure is around 30%).

The following technologies are eligible for the WTL:
• Efficient toilets eg low-volume flush toilets
• Urinal with integral control
• Urinal controls

The Water Technology List currently has five qualifying technologies, which will be reviewed on an annual basis and expanded in future years:

• Flow controllers
• Meters and monitoring equipment
• Leakage detection equipment
• Efficient toilets
• Efficient taps
