Drought hits the bathroom industry "pseudo-water-saving" product problems highlighted

The problem of shortage of water resources in the Yangtze River once again caused severe drought, once again descended on the land of China; this time it was in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The average precipitation in Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai decreased by more than half compared with the same period of last year and was the lowest since 1954.

The persistently low precipitation has led to an abnormally low water level in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Natural and cultural landscapes such as Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake and Honghu Lake have disappeared. The persistently low rainfall has caused severe drought in parts of the south, with 34.43 million people drinking water. difficult.

Just last year, the drought spread across southwestern China, and more than 61.3 million people were affected by the disaster in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and Chongqing. The scale is unprecedented. In Yunnan, autumn, winter, and spring have been linked to drought, and once a hundred years of drought have occurred, Guizhou has suffered drought in autumn and winter, and there has been a drought in 80 years. What is the case of the northern part of the country that lacks water?

Once again, drought has forced us to question whether the era of our resource-rich country still exists. Once again, drought has forced us to torture our citizens' awareness of water conservation. Once again, drought has forced us to reflect on companies’ The social responsibilities and should be given.

As early as after the Copenhagen conference, the horn of energy-saving and emission reduction has been played in all corners of the resource-constrained planet; even before the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the Chinese government had repeatedly advocated a resource-saving society. Then, under the guidance of the government, does the awareness of water conservation of citizens generally increase? Is the company trying to save water?

The sanitary ware market, where fake water-saving products are popular As a country with scarce water resources, the central government of our country attaches great importance to the conservation of water resources and the promotion of water-saving products. As a large consumer of water resources, sanitary ware naturally stands on the cusp of water-saving problems. Because in our daily life, the bathroom water accounts for almost 50% to 60% of the total domestic water consumption. Therefore, if this link is to save water, then the entire water-saving project will be more effective, and the result will be obvious. This aspect mainly depends on the design of toilets, faucets and other products.

In short, whether water conservation in sanitary products is related to the water-saving cause of the entire society. In this regard, following the introduction of the water-saving technology industry standard in 2000, in 2004, the National Standardization Committee listed the "6 liters of toilet water supply system" as a national mandatory standard, hoping to rectify the plumbing sanitary market and guide the sound development of sanitary products. To solve the problem of water stress. The determination of the central government to save water is evident. How is the actual effect?

It is true that after this, water conservation has become one of the flags of the plumbing and sanitary ware industry. Plumbing and sanitary ware companies are also playing the brand of water-saving products. The plumbing sanitary ware market is also a product of water-saving products. However, how many of them are trendy chases? How much is the conceptual hype? Perhaps most of them are just floating on the surface and slogans.

According to Yan Fucheng of the China Building Decoration Association, the domestic market for water-saving sanitary ware is still not standardized. In terms of the most commonly used flush toilets, water-based toilets currently occupying more than 6 liters in the market still have the largest footprint. section.

Many manufacturers' products have not reached the standard of 6 liters of water, but they have already made a sign of 6 liters of water, and even said that their products are 3 liters of water and 4 liters of water. In short, at present, the so-called water-saving products in the domestic market may seem dazzling and dazzling. In reality, many of them simply cannot meet the standards that they advocate.

Awareness of water-saving, except for the drought, we can know what it is but can this be attributed to the company? In the process of visiting various supermarkets, many dealers stated that ordinary consumers are not very concerned about water conservation or not. On the contrary, they pay more attention to prices and other factors.

When interviewing some business managers, they said that the major markets for sanitary products, such as toilets, are in urban areas. Although there is currently drought, urban water use is certainly sufficient, so consumers who are not worried are Will not be deeply aware of the importance of saving water. On the other hand, the research and development of water-saving products require a lot of human, material, and financial resources. Moreover, the more expensive prices of water-saving products than ordinary products make them more attractive to consumers.

When the drought lasts, the concept of water-saving suddenly wakes up and water-saving sanitary ware products are on the market. What's sad is that with the relief of drought, the stringent water-saving string of the Chinese people has once again slackened; as the east wind blows its ears, people with leaf blindness and short-sightedness do not remember the pain of waterlessness. The sanitary ware market has therefore begun to move further away from saving water and has entered the usual price war. Perhaps, when sleeping in the dream of a resource-rich country, advocating saving resources for Chinese people is tantamount to playing against the cow.

Maybe, unless the eyebrows are burned and the skin is hurtful, people can really feel that the so-called resource-rich countries are just ignorant dreams and deception; and only at this moment can people really realize that water saving is not hollow. The slogan should be a real action. If so, how does a consumer-oriented company take the road to energy-efficient products?

It can be seen that the "pseudo-water saving" problem of sanitary products is due to the fact that ordinary consumers do not have such demand, and people who do not have such requirements are due to the fact that water-saving awareness is not strong, and people's awareness of water-saving is weak because the water price is too cheap. However, domestic water consumption is an essential consumer product, and the government cannot over-price it. It seems that the level of water prices is fundamental to the success of water conservation.

The price of water may rise, and the guards have to leave the power shortage to save water. The seriousness of the problem is enough to arouse the vigilance and attention of the central government. At the end of May, the State Council approved the “Circular on the Key Work of Deepening Economic System Reform in 2011” issued by the National Development and Reform Commission. The document pointed out that this year it is necessary to take the opportunity to implement the electricity price ladder for residential electricity use, and actively promote the reform of water prices, and formulate reasonable water resource fee collection standards and water supply engineering water supply prices.

The industry believes that as the country implements the most stringent water management system, whether it is industrial water prices or residential water prices, may be raised in time this year. As for the price of ladder water, it has been considered by the industry insiders to be one of the future development directions of the water pricing mechanism reform. Although there are many difficulties, the general trend is imperative. According to the author's incomplete statistics, water prices in Guangzhou and other cities may have been raised during the year, and Beijing, Jinan and other places will try to implement a stepped water price.

The drought has hit again. Maybe this time, the people of the country should be on the alert. It is important to know that water conservation is more important than Taishan. The plumbing and sanitary ware industry should also seize the opportunity, take its due social responsibilities, and truly make a difference in water-saving products. The great water-saving industry contributes its own strength.
