Water-saving fittings that do not feel like a compromise

Water efficiency in a bathroom comes from the WC, the shower and the taps, in roughly that order of impact.

Your questions answered

Do low-flow showers work on gravity systems?

Some need a minimum pressure; check the specification against your system.

Is a smaller cistern always better?

Not if it needs two flushes. Effective flush design matters more than nominal volume.

How it performs

Dual flush mechanisms only save water while their seals are sound, a passing valve wastes more than the flush ever saved.

Aerated basin taps reduce flow substantially without changing how the tap feels to use.
