Please Ensure You Turn Off The Taps Energy Saving Sign helps you remind staff, visitors and pupils to stop unnecessary water waste in washrooms, kitchens and shared sink areas.
The Please Ensure You Turn Off The Taps Energy Saving Sign is a clear environmental reminder for staff, visitors and pupils using sinks, washrooms, kitchens and shared water points. It helps you prompt better everyday behaviour, reduce avoidable water waste and support a cleaner, more responsible workplace.
Best Places To Display This Water Saving Sign
You should install this sign directly above, beside or close to taps where people naturally look before leaving the area. Use it at wash basins, kitchen sinks, staff toilets, school washrooms, changing rooms and shared water points so the reminder appears at the exact moment water may be left running.
Viewing Distance Guidance
This is a close-range reminder, so position it where users can read it comfortably while standing at the sink or walking away from the taps. Keep it unobstructed, well lit and close enough to be noticed before the user leaves the area.
| Size option | Suggested viewing distance | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148mm | Approx. 1–3 metres | Wash basins, sink walls, doors, tiles and nearby water points |

Installation Guidance
❌ Common fitting mistakes
❌ Do not place the sign too far from the taps, as the reminder loses its impact once the user has already left the sink.
❌ Do not install it behind open doors, hand dryers, mirrors or stored items where it can be missed.
❌ Do not fit vinyl to dusty, wet, greasy or uneven surfaces, as adhesion may be poor.
❌ Where it will not work well
❌ This sign is not a substitute for repairing leaking taps, faulty valves or water supply problems.
❌ It is not suitable as a hazard warning, mandatory PPE instruction or emergency information sign.
❌ Avoid using it where condensation or regular splashing will cover the message.
✅ Best practice for clear results
✅ Install it close to the basin or water outlet, where users naturally pause before leaving.
✅ Clean and dry the surface fully before applying vinyl or fixing rigid plastic.
✅ Keep the sign upright, well lit and at a comfortable reading height for everyday users.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Please Ensure You Turn Off The Taps Energy Saving Sign suitable for washrooms? Yes. It is well suited to washrooms, toilets, kitchens, staff areas and any shared sink where taps may be left running.
Should I choose rigid plastic or vinyl? Choose vinyl for a clean, flat surface where you want self-adhesive fixing. Choose rigid plastic when you need a more solid sign for wall, door or tile mounting.
Is this a safety sign or an environmental sign? It is an energy saving sign. Its job is to encourage better water-use behaviour rather than warn of a hazard.
Can I use it near school sinks? Yes. The wording is polite and simple, making it suitable for schools, nurseries, colleges and shared education wash areas.
Where should I place it for the best result? Put it close to the taps, ideally at eye level or just above the basin, so the user sees it before leaving the sink area.
