Description
Eco-Friendly Basin Mixer with Water-Saving Technology
The Roper Rhodes Act Eco Basin Mixer combines striking contemporary design with exceptional water-saving performance. This deck-mounted mixer operates efficiently from just 0.2 bar minimum pressure whilst incorporating innovative eco-friendly features including cold start technology and 5 litres per minute flow restriction. The brilliant chrome finish creates a timeless aesthetic whilst helping reduce water and energy consumption.
Water-Saving Flow Restriction
The integrated 5 litres per minute flow restriction significantly reduces water consumption without compromising performance. This eco-conscious design helps lower utility bills whilst supporting sustainable water usage, making it an environmentally responsible choice for modern bathrooms. The flow restrictor maintains comfortable water pressure whilst using up to 50% less water than standard taps.
Cold Start Technology
The innovative cold start feature means the tap delivers cold water when the lever is in the central position, only mixing in hot water when you move the lever to the left. This intelligent design prevents unnecessary heating of water, reducing energy consumption and lowering your carbon footprint. Cold start technology is particularly beneficial for quick hand washing where hot water isn't needed.
Low Pressure Performance
Engineered specifically for low-pressure systems, this eco basin mixer operates efficiently from just 0.2 bar minimum pressure. This low-pressure capability makes it compatible with most UK water systems, including gravity-fed supplies, making it ideal for period properties, loft conversions, upper-floor bathrooms, and homes without mains pressure.
Modern Contemporary Design
The Act Eco collection features clean, geometric lines and minimalist styling that defines contemporary bathroom design. The modern aesthetic creates a sophisticated focal point whilst maintaining practical functionality and environmental responsibility, making it perfect for design-conscious homeowners seeking sustainable fixtures.
Brilliant Chrome Finish
The classic chrome plating creates a brilliant, easy-clean surface that complements both contemporary and traditional bathroom designs. The chrome finish resists water marks and tarnishing, maintaining its pristine appearance with minimal maintenance whilst providing timeless versatility that coordinates with any bathroom style.

Understanding Cold Start Technology
Traditional mixer taps deliver a mix of hot and cold water even when the lever is centred, wasting energy by heating water unnecessarily. Cold start technology changes this by delivering only cold water when the lever is in the central position. Hot water is only mixed in when you deliberately move the lever to the left, ensuring you only heat water when you actually need it. This simple innovation can significantly reduce energy consumption, particularly for quick tasks like hand washing.
