The Aqua Art Ltd., Zurich

We started producing AquaClic water savers in 1998 in Switzerland in the city of Zurich (against the advice of financial experts, who advised us to produce in the far east...)

How it started ...

* Environmental protection is expensive and difficult ...
* I don't want to restrict myself ...
* There is enough rain ...
* I don't need to save a few Swiss Francs ...

These were the kind of opinions we heard from friends a few years ago, when we asked them what they thought about environmental protection at home, in particular about saving water.

So we searched for a way to make saving water attractive and stylish as well as providing increased comfort. The result:

Using technical water saving devices, which have already existed for almost half a century, as the basis for our product, we created the emotional water savers AquaClic:

decorative water and energy savers for taps, that are fun, save the environment and come in over 150 miniature-designs created by artists and children.

...since then a lot has happened...

Since the beginning several hundred thousand AquaClics have been sold. The hot summers of 2003 and 2005 (the driest year on record: baz, Feb.06) showed that even Switzerland, Europe's water castle, does not enjoy an abundance of water at all times, and that it is necessary to conserve this precious resource.

Nevertheless, saving water and energy should continue to be stylish and smart, and so we attentively listen to you, our customers, and are constantly expanding our eco-lifestyle-range:

* as a result we created the designer shower head «Elégance» made from high-grade stainless steel and
* in summer 2006 we introduced the first water saving pull-out shower head for the kitchen, «CuisineChic», ever made world-wide.

No matter what your reason is for using AquaClics...

The different designs and colours of each AquaClic product appeal to different people, and are as variable as the reasons why they use AquaClic:

* because you can save costs,
* prefer a soft pleasant jet of water
* or because the tap in the guest toilet sprays over the small sink.
* Because you would like to help protect the environment
* or you don't want to lose time removing lime scale build-up,
* because you want to decorate your bathroom and kitchen in a stylish way,
* or give it as a cute little gift that is also useful.
* Because you just like the way AquaClics look,
* or because you're a fan of dolphins, cats or elefants,
* because it helps you teach your children about environmental protection and conservation, when you use e.g. a «Willy-the-whale»-Clic on your tap.
* Municipalities use AquaClic, to set a good example and
* companies can use AquaClics as long-term, effective advertising tools and offer them as gifts to clients and employees.

...in any case the environment wins (and it's easy on the wallet too!) from these water and ...

..energy savings

The daily shower uses more energy than you would think .Many of us are not fully aware just how much energy our daily shower requires. In our collaboration with municipalities, community groups and schools we go into great detail on the topic of how much energy is used for hot water. The small environmental booklet, which comes with every purchased product, also helps to motivate each individual household to save energy, especially because:

Warm water uses more energy than all the electrical household appliances put together, including light!

Environmentally friendly production

The production of one AquaClic uses 0.23 kWh, which is equal to blow-drying your hair for 15 minutes. During it's useful life of at least 10 years, the AquaClic saves about 12'000 times as much!

We produce our products as environmentally friendly as possible, free from PVC and with highest quality materials, which makes them long-lasting and suitable for use in contact with food products.

The WWF Switzerland recommends AquaClics in its guidebook «The Ecological Habitat» and AquaClic have been tested by Greenpeace Switzerland and Germany.

They save more water and energy than is used to produce them (4.5 litres of water per AquaClic)

We use the shortest route of transportation which minimises «grey» energy for the transport: all suppliers (preferred with ISO 14040 or 9000 certification) and product parts do not come from further away than Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Denmark.

Pleasant working environment for good product quality

Some of the columns in the Aqua Art factory, created by our AquaClic-artist Manuela Uebelhart can be seen to the left of this text.

After numerous visitors from Switzerland and abroad showed great enthusiasm upon seeing our «Aquarium»: we now claim with pride, that we own the best looking factory near and wide.

We produce AquaClics on the blue ocean bed and on the columns an array of underwater scenes depict dolphins and squids...

In short: the attractive working environment allows AquaClic employees and staff from relief organisations, we employ when needed, to feel comfortable and happy. This guarantees that the AquaClic products are of best quality.

Our employees are also actively involved in the development and improvement of new products, such as this suggestion from our long-term employee Yolanda Meienberg: to offer a durable shower hose as a complementary addition to our water saving shower head.

Using charm and wit not wagging the green finger criticizingly...

With the help and collaberation of artists, environmental organisations, students and community leaders we would like to contribute towards more people living a new:

Eco Lifestyle

a long-term and fun way to help protect the environment.
