SMARTTAPS. A SIMPLE WAY TO SAVE WATER.

This new Idea is about saving water. As you all know, every time we have a shower, we waste some water at the beginning, when the water is still cold. We have to keep the tap open, until hot water comes.

I have designed a smarttap, that works automatically. As long as there is no hot water coming from the hot water tube, the water, will be redirected to the main water tank. During this time, no water coming from the hot water tube, will be wasted.

It´s a really simple way to save water. This is an idea that could be useful for new houses, or houses where a renovation is to take place, because it is needed to introduced new tubes to make it work.

I am aware that there are some systems, that keep water hot, close to the taps, but, there is always some water that it is wasted while we are waiting for hot water to come. Existing systems, uses both electricity and thermic energy. (Electricity, for the pump that recirculate the water, and thermic energy to keep water hot while it´s been recirculating)
