Eco Factor: Washbasin saves water by turning supply off when you leave.
Leaving the washbasin faucet open even after you’ve brushed your teeth is something very common in every household. Call it negligence or sleepiness, precious liters of water are wasted with this attitude of a normal home owner. Industrial designer Fredrik Stenström has designed a simple washbasin that turns off water supply automatically after you’ve left the bathroom.
Similar to a push-pedal garbage bin, the water saving washbasin has been designed with a push-pedal system that only activates water supply when the pedal at the base of the washbasin has been pressed and turning it off when the pedal is released. This simple technique might save hundreds of liters of water in an average household and save a few bucks too.
