the simple to use mechanical anti-overflow system that doesn't waste water or energy

Apart from protecting against overflowing baths, Nova-Flo will also save on your water consumption.

If you leave your bath running until the water pours through the overflow - you waste 10-14 litres per minute!

If you have installed Nova-Flo - the taps will automatically shut off the flow as the water reaches the overflow outlet.

Facts on water

  • We use around 155 litres of water each day on average, which is 70% more than 30 years ago. That's around 1600 pints of water a week each. (Source: Yorkshire Water - Water Efficient Garden; Bristol Water - Water Wizard; and others)
  • One drip per second wastes around 1200 litres of water in a year; that's around 4 litres a day; and 90 litres of water if the drips are breaking into a stream. (Source: Environment Agency - Water Wise)
  • Running the tap can use 10-14 litres of water a minute - which would give enough for a bath in just 5 minutes. (Source: Environment Agency - Water Wise) ...so make sure you mend any dripping taps, and turn off taps when not in use.
  • If everyone in the UK turned off the tap whilst brushing their teeth, they would collectively save as much water in a week as it would take to fill the Millennium Dome. (Source: Going for Green)
  • Washing a mug under a running tap uses about a litre of water; six mugs use about the same as a whole bowl of washing up. (Source: Bristol Water plc)
  • A single washing machine cycle uses up to 100 litres of water (22 gallons) - and the average family uses their washing machine five times a week. That's 26,000 litres (5,720 gallons) in a year. (Source: Southern Water website)
  • Only use the washing machine or dishwasher when you have a full load. If you have an economy cycle, then use this. (Source: Watersmart)
