The Water Technology List has been developed by Defra and the Inland Revenue in partnership with EnviroWise.
It is aimed at helping businesses save money in the short and long term by encouraging them to invest in technologies and products that reduce water use and improve water quality.
Water savings are a key area for all businesses.
According to EnviroWise, manufacturing companies can save between 30 and 50% of their water and wastewater costs through inexpensive changes to their working practices.
Martin Gibson, Director of EnviroWise, says: "The Water Technology List is making it easy for businesses to make important decisions to improve their water use and water quality and save money at the same time.
Businesses will benefit in the long term through reduced water costs and improved water efficiency by claiming an Enhanced Capital Allowance".
ABB is one of the product and technology manufacturers leading the industry forward.
"One of the objectives of offering the ECA is to promote innovation and to encourage companies such as ABB to come up with new technologies for improving both water usage and quality" says Harry Lawrence, Flow Product Manager at ABB: "ABB is committed to helping its customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact throughout their operations.
The addition of our electromagnetic flowmeters to the Water Technology List provides us with an invaluable opportunity for promoting our corporate environmental message both to the water industry and also to major water users throughout other industries".
The Water Technology List currently has five qualifying technologies, which will be reviewed on an annual basis and expanded in future years.
These are.
Flow controllers.
Meters and monitoring equipment.
Leakage detection equipment.
Efficient toilets.
Efficient taps.
