Social Housing & Water Utility Programmes

A utility handing out water-saving kits is not really selling hardware, it is buying behaviour change at a fixed price per home. That changes what matters. A device that needs a plumber does not get fitted. A device that needs a battery gets thrown away when the battery dies. A device that arrives loose in a mailing bag does not get taken seriously.

This is why the timer range matters as much as the aerators. A sand timer has no battery, no display and nothing to service — it sticks to the tile and runs out. The digital units count up or down with an alarm for households working to a target. Both ship in stated bulk packing: 100 pieces to a carton, with carton dimensions and gross and net weights published per product, which is what a procurement officer needs before the tender closes.

On the plumbing side, shower regulators fit between the outlet and the hose without changing the head, and screw-in restrictors come in fixed 6 L/min and 9 L/min options. Neither needs the resident to do anything after the visit.
