WATER-SAVING METHOD, DEVICE AND INSTALLATION

摘要

The invention relates to a running water consumption installation of the type that comprises cold water and hot water circuits and at least one common consumption point for both circuits. The invention is characterised in that the cold water circuit operates at a lower pressure than the hot water circuit. The invention is also characterised in that it comprises at least one device which is positioned at a common consumption point for both circuits and which comprises a user-actuated control which enables water from the hot water circuit to flow into the cold water circuit through said consumption point. Preferably, the aforementioned device uses temperature-sensitive means in order to determine the time for which both circuits are connected. The invention is further characterised in that it comprises means which are disposed in the cold water circuit and which are used to release a volume of water arriving from the hot water circuit.
