Watch our short installation video

You may be surprised to learn that in some homes, taps can flow up to 18 litres a minute.

Together with the world leader in flow and stream control technology, Save Water save Money has developed the Tap Insert, designed to reduce the flow rate on a tap in the home to 3.5 litres a minute, saving up to 12 litres a minute and reducing your gas or electricity bills by reducing the amount of hot water.

And you'll not notice any difference - either to the flow of water or to your tap. Our Tap Insert is unique because you don’t need to replace the external chrome or steel casing (outlet housing) found with conventional tap restrictors you simply replace the internal plastic parts. We've provided a simple plastic tool to help you get the job done without marking the ends of your taps - and allowing you to complete the job within a couple of minutes. 

The Tap Insert uses intelligent flow control (PCA of Pressure Compensatory Accessory) which self compensates for system pressure. The Tap Insert is suitable for separate hot & cold taps or mixers - fitting up to 85% of taps with screwed outlets. If you find the insert does not fit your tap you can return the complete kit to us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.

Each kit contains the following items:

• 2 adaptor rings ( 1 x black & 1 x grey) to select for your present housing when fitting.
• 1 x 3.5 litres a minute  aerator  with  Intelligent Flow Control

Fitting Instructions:

1. Slide the opening of the blue tool around the end of the tap. There are various size fittings so make sure the tool fits snugly.  
2. Twist anticlockwise until the end of the tap comes away from the spout.
3. Remove the original insert from the housing.
4. From the components, select one to replace the old insert, as follows (you’ll find only one component will fit):
   • The grey ring is for housings that have an internal shoulder at the outlet of the housing.
   • The black ring is for housings that have no visible shoulder.
   • For small housings (JR size) just insert the aerator.
5. Install the converter ring into the tap housing and using original gasket replace on to spout hand tight. If using the grey or black converter ring, insert the aerator fully into the ring until the top of the aerator is flush with the top of the ring.

Will it fit my taps?
The tap insert requires the tap end to have two straight edges. It will fit the majority of taps with a screwed outlet housing. It is not suitable for large bath taps. The inserts should not affect the performance of your taps, merely regulate the flow to 3.5 litres per minute.
