Water flow rate

One of the quality indicators that directly depends on the standard of living is the consumption of water by consumers. At the end of the nineteenth century Muscovite had eleven liters. A modern inhabitant of a megacity has a water discharge of 700 liters.

Why does it depend on the use of such a liquid that is so valuable to a person?

First of all, the water flow is directly dependent on the amount of labor involved in performing a particular job, and also on the ambient temperature. Medical studies have shown that in humans only up to two liters of fluid are lost from sweat glands . And if the work is carried out in areas where the climate is warm enough, then the consumption of this natural substance by the body will be higher.

Differential statistics on the flow of hot and cold water. A family of four people, on average, spends seven and ten thousand liters per month, respectively. Water is consumed not only to quench your thirst. It is necessary for washing clothes and various things, for cooking and hygiene. Each day, per person, the average water flow is the following:

- for preparation of various drinks - up to two liters;

- for use in cooking - three liters;

- for washing hands with an open tap - up to eight liters;

- for oral hygiene - up to seven liters;

- for taking a shower - up to twenty liters in one minute;

- for washing - up to a hundred liters;

- for one use of a toilet bowl - up to fifteen liters;

- for taking a bath - one hundred and fifty liters;

- for one cycle of the dishwasher - up to ten liters.

In general, the use of water per person is made within five hundred and seventy liters. If we take into account that every inhabitant of a megapolis regularly washes his vehicle, watering home flowers and plants in the suburban area, the amount of used liquid is significantly increased. Children under the age of fourteen years use half as much water as adults. The consumption of this priceless gift of nature differs for different states. Thus, one inhabitant of America spends up to six hundred and fifty liters of water every day. And the family living in Africa is only twenty.

The norms of water consumption, contained in the SNIP, for a long time lagged behind its actual use. Therefore, most consumers choose the way to reduce the costs of this natural product. In earlier times, we did not pay attention to the open tap, when we were distracted by some extraneous matters. Now, before going into another room, most of us prefer to close the mixer. And all this because the payment of utilities is very tangible for the purse of any person. Water saving is the rational use of not only a natural resource, but also available funds.

To reduce the consumption of liquid, the most effective way is to install aerators and regulators. Such measures are popular in all highly developed states. Technical devices that allow you to save on utility bills, provide optimal pressure in both the mixer and the shower. The installation of the regulator does not introduce rigid boundaries of water consumption and does not cause various inconveniences. This device performs automatic head adjustment. This allows you to save on utilities, while maintaining the optimal level of consumption necessary for normal living conditions. The water pressure regulators reduce its used volume to nine liters per minute. The installation of the instruments is very simple. Dimensions of their bodies and limiters are suitable for all plumbing devices.
