Save and serve water in the most impactful way
Your hotel guests consume a significant amount of water, resulting in substantial annual costs. Save water, save money, and impress your guests with our help.
Do you offer water service at your restaurant or provide complimentary water for guests in their rooms? We can offer you sustainable alternatives with a compelling narrative.
LET US GIVE YOU A HAND WITH:
They still have no water:
703,000,000 people
Millions of people still do not have access to clean drinking water. Fetching water is a full time job for them. This water is often polluted, resulting in disease and child mortality. We want to change this, in a sustainable way for everyone involved. Would you like to contribute?
do good, feel good
Save water
Your hotel guests consume a significant amount of water every day. A hotel boasting around 100 rooms could easily end up with a bill of over 25,000 euros annually. Conserving water can make you and your guests feel better.
We can help you save an average of 100 litres of water for every room night by involving the guest in a unique way. By simply scanning a QR code, your guest can donate these litres of water saved to a water project of their own choice.
- Save up to 100 litres of water per night
- Lower energy costs
- Let guests pick their own water project
Watch the numbers soar
Calculate your potential savings
Conserving water might seem like a daunting task that’s out of your hands. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. By shortening their shower time by a mere 15 seconds, guests can easily offset a 100-litre donation. Every second of conservation counts towards money saved. Discover the potential profit waiting for you with a simple calculation.
