Mudd vs. Robinet: The Comparison No One Dares to Make 💧
Are you wondering if using a Mudd for your ablutions really makes a difference compared to using a tap? The answer will surprise you. In this comprehensive comparison based on real 2025 data, we analyze four objective criteria : water consumption, financial cost, time, and environmental impact.
Get ready to discover some figures that will change the way you view ablutions!
📊 Comparative Methodology
Basic Assumptions
For this comparison, we use the following data:
- 👤 Profile : Practicing Muslim performing 5 ablutions per day
- 📅 Period : Calculations over 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years
- 💧 Water price : €4.20/m³ (average for France in 2025)
- 🔥 Water heating price : €0.15/kWh (electric)
- 🌍 Carbon footprint : 0.132 kg CO₂/m³ of water
Reference Scenario
We compare the Mudd to the standard tap (the most common practice):
- Tap open moderately during ablutions
- Average consumption: 6 liters per ablution
💧 CRITERION 1: Water Consumption
The Key Figure: 80% Less Water!
| Method | By Ablution | Per Day (5×) | Per month | Per Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prophetic Mudd | 0.75 L | 3.75 L | 112 L | 1,369 L |
| Standard Tap | 6 L | 30 L | 900 L | 10,950 L |
| DIFFERENCE | -5.25 L | -26.25 L | -788 L | -9,581 L |
📊 Calculation: The Mudd uses only 12.5% of tap water
In other words: 80% less water with the Mudd!
A 10-Year Perspective
- 💧 With Mudd : 13,690 liters
- 💧 With tap : 109,500 liters
- 🌊 Savings : 95,810 litres = 639 bathtubs !
💰 CRITERION 2: Financial Cost
Water Cost Calculation
Average price of water in France (2025): €4.20/m³ (water + sanitation)
| Period | Mudd | Faucet | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year | €5.75 | €45.99 | €40.24 |
| 10 Years | €57.50 | €459.90 | €402.40 |
| 30 Years | €172.50 | €1,379.70 | €1,207.20 |
Adding the Cost of Heating Water
If you use hot water for your ablutions (winter):
| Period | Mudd (water + heating) | Tap (water + heating) | Total Economy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year | €15.20 | €121.59 | €106.39 |
| 10 Years | €152 | €1,216 | €1,064 |
| 30 Years | €456 | €3,648 | €3,192 |

🌍 CRITERION 4: Environmental Impact
Water Carbon Footprint
Water production, treatment and distribution: 0.132 kg CO₂/m³
| Period | Mudd | Faucet | CO₂ Avoided |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year | 0.18 kg | 1.45 kg | 1.27 kg |
| 10 Years | 1.81 kg | 14.45 kg | 12.64 kg |
Carbon Footprint of Heating
Electric water heating: 0.057 kg CO₂/kWh
| Period | Mudd (total) | Tap (total) | CO₂ Avoided |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year | 3.77 kg | 30.18 kg | 26.41 kg |
| 10 Years | 37.7 kg | 301.8 kg | 264.1 kg |
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Using the Mudd instead of the tap:
- 🌱 Annual reduction : 26.41 kg CO₂
- 🌱 Reduction over 10 years : 264.1 kg CO₂
- 🌱 Equivalent : 1,320 km saved by car
🌍 Collective impact : If 1 million Muslims in France used the Mudd, it would represent a reduction of 26,410 tonnes of CO₂ per year !
