Improving Efficiency with a Water Focused Eco MOT

At SaveMoneyCutCarbon our experience over the past decade has shown that water efficiency can have a big effect on annual water and energy bills. For instance, eco taps deliver water savings of typically between 50 – 70%, while ultra-low flow toilets can reduce water usage by 75%.

Here’s how we helped one of our customers, Muddy Boots Nursery in Wilberfoss, York reduces water costs.

Water Focused Eco MOT Retrofit Solutions & Further Recommendations

David Ball, our technical lead on the Water Reduction Team visited Muddy Boots Nursery to review where savings could be made on bills, energy and CO2.

While on site, David installed tap aerators and toilet displacement bags to immediately reduce water consumption. These interventions delivered an instant and tangible impact on water usage. Additionally, we found scope for significant savings with further upgrades.
The quick win interventions have achieved a 24% water reduction, 20% energy reduction and 46% carbon reduction across the 9 assets upgraded.
