WATER CONSERVATION

Water Conservation Techniques (Plumbing) At The Orchid we believe in the three "R" theory of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Water being one of the earth's most precious resources and vital to life, we have tried to put this theory in practice by taking special care to conserve this resource by employing the carefully planned techniques enlisted below.

Aerators/Flow Restrictors All taps contain special aerators, which increase the water's force and reduce outflow, saving water. Using these aerators saves upto 50% of water. In addition in our Ecoteria we have taps operating on timers.

Cistern's And Flushes Two other ingenious water saving devices are the Geberit Concealed Cistern which uses only 6 litres of water per flush as against 15 -20 litres used in conventional flushes, while the Geberit Urinal Flush Valve's infra red detector ensures a definite flush after every use preventing the unwanted flushing of timer set systems.

Sewage Treatment Plant At the Orchid we even recycle our waste water. With the latest technology, waste water is treated and then reused in areas like the air conditioning & gardening.

Drip Irrigation With the help of drip irrigation, our endeavour to conserve water increased two folds!
