Calculator explained
The calculator is based on the following parameters. A normal showerhead uses 15 liters per minute on average, whilst a low-flow showerhead only uses 5 liters a minute. This saves you 10 liters of water every minute you are showering!
To heat 50 liters of water for a shower, 0,2 m3 of natural gas is needed on average. Therefore, the calculator uses this as a parameter to calculate how much natural gas can be saved by using less water that needs to be heated.
Based on the water and gas price that you can fill in the calculator and the amount of minutes your shower is being used daily, the calculator is able to give an indication of how much you could save with a low-flow showerhead.
