We made a device to save 45% water consumption

11 pointsrivkamx14 comments

My father designed a couple years ago a device that is based on Bernoulli's Principle to save up to 45% water consumption (Reduces the water flow, keeps the water pressure intact).

The device has been installed in many Hospitals, Hotels and houses in Mexico for some years now, and we made a website to address the US, specially the drought states, where we think we can make more impact among households.

How's this different from a standard faucet aerator? Cuts down on water usage but maintains water pressure...can be used in sink faucets, showers, etc..

The standard aerator mixes air with water, so it gives pretty much a false sensation on the comfort, while waterpayless reduces water without introducing air in the flow, giving a real sensation of comfort.

Thanks for you question!

The text on your homepage's above the fold area is absolutely unreadable, either add fading to the background image or change the image completely. It's really hard to read.

Thanks for your feedback! will proceed to make it more readable

thanks

You can also try adding some text shadow but I wouldn't add more than 1px. You can try this in conjunction with changing of shading/dimming the image.

I already did add some shadow to the text, it seems to me its much more readable now.

Thank you again!
