Water is essential to life. It covers nearly three quarters of the earth’s surface. Yet, fresh water constitutes barely three percent of our total water resources, with most of it contained in the glaciers and polar ice caps.
Changes in the global climate have caused many people to re-think. Today, our key priority in terms of environmental awareness is to be more sparing with nature’s resources. And nowhere more so than in the case of water, the “stuff of life“ with which we are all in constant daily contact.
Water – our most precious resource

This diagram shows just how important it is to use water with care. It indicates that four billion people – i. e. half the world’s population – will suffer extreme water shortages by 2025. That is, if we carry on as we do …

Water is too valuable to be wasted. In the future, it seems we will no longer be able to take its constant availability for granted. We are accustomed to use drinking water for almost everything – even where we don’t need it. The pie chart illustrates this clearly:
the green segments represent activities for which drinking water quality isn’t strictly necessary.*
That’s where the Pontos AquaCycle comes in. It allows water from showers and baths to be reused thanks to a purely biological recycling process with no chemical additives.
The Pontos AquaCycle represents a major contribution to ecological sustainability. It reduces water usage – and with it water costs – by up to 50 percent, providing us with an intelligent way of saving water without compromising any of our modern comforts.
