About Watersavers
Founded in 1985 Watersavers specialises in the design and manufacture of flow rate and pressure monitoring water leak detection systems, valves & PIR controls, legionella prevention solutions and urinal controls.
Designers of the first, award winning, water-saving infrared urinal flushing control, we continue to develop products that reduce water consumption and unnecessary leaks.
Being part of Daro Group, we benefit from decades of long-established British design and engineering capability, and wider support of the Group’s central resources such as strategic planning, sales & marketing, financial management and continuous investment.
Having control over our design and manufacture in the UK means we’re able to specify the best components and manage a short local supply chain to provide you with quality products and service. Many of our products are WRAS approved and are used to obtain BREEAM credits.
Embracing continuous improvement, we pride ourselves on being agile and responsive and are trusted by the range of customers we serve. This includes design-stage consultants, main contractors, M&E contractors, distributors and wholesalers, plumbing & heating engineers and hygiene and facilities management companies.
Our concern for conservation goes beyond water, therefore our products are renowned for their lasting qualities. We also advocate ‘repair rather than replace’ to conserve raw materials and energy. However, when any product does reach its end of life, we ask that it is returned to us for safe recycling.
Manufacturing and stocks of products are maintained at our head office in Suffolk with standard products generally available for next day delivery.
