    If, for example, someone flushes a toilet while the shower is in use, the fixture suddenly draws a significant amount of cold water from the common supply line, causing a pressure drop. In the absence of a compensating mechanism, the relatively higher pressure in the hot water supply line will cause the shower temperature to rise just as ...

    A wall-mounted shower sensor. In public facilities, the trend is toward sensor-operated (automatic) fixtures that improve hygiene and save money.

    They also shut off rapidly in the event of a hot or cold supply failure to prevent scalding or thermal shock. It is increasingly common practice around the world to regulate the storage water temperature to above 60 °C (140 °F), and to circulate or distribute water at a temperature less than 50 °C (122 °F).

    A low-flush toilet (or low-flow toilet or high-efficiency toilet) is a flush toilet that uses significantly less water than traditional high-flow toilets. Before the early 1990s in the United States, standard flush toilets typically required at least 3.5 gallons (13.2 litres) per flush and they used float valves that often leaked, increasing their total water use.

  8. Greywater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greywater

    In households with conventional flush toilets, greywater makes up about 65% of the total wastewater produced by that household. [3] It may be a good source of water for reuse because there is a close relationship between the production of greywater and the potential demand for toilet flushing water.
