The aim of the Water Technology List is to encourage businesses to save money by investing in technology and products that reduce water use and improve water quality. This is achieved by permitting businesses to claim Enhanced Capital Allowances (“ECA”) under the ECA Water Scheme.

Items on the list that might be eligible include:

cleaning-in-place equipment - monitoring and control equipment, and spray devices
efficient showers - aerated showerheads, auto shut-off showers, flow regulators, low-flow showerheads and thermostatic controlled showers
efficient taps - automatic shut-off taps, electronic taps, low-flow screw-down or lever taps and spray taps
efficient toilets - low-flush toilets, retrofit WC flushing devices and urinal controls
efficient washing machines - efficient commercial and industrial washing machines
flow controllers - control and flow-limiting devices
leakage detection equipment - data loggers, pressure-reducing valve controllers, and remote meter-reading and leak-warning devices
meters and monitoring equipment - flow meters and water management software
rainwater harvesting equipment - monitoring and control equipment, rainwater filtration equipment and rainwater storage vessels
small-scale slurry and sludge dewatering equipment - belt press, centrifuge and filter press equipment
vehicle-wash water reclaim units - partial or full reclaim systems
water efficient industrial cleaning equipment - scrubber/driers (walk-behind and ride-on machines) and steam cleaners
water management equipment for mechanical seals - seal water recycling units, internal flow regulators, and monitoring and control units
