This paper explores the application method of emotional design theory in water-saving product design from the perspective of users' water-saving emotional cognition, to achieve the purpose of actual water saving with multi-level psychological guidance and to meet the needs of people's emotional interaction with water-saving products in daily life. Through the three-level theoretical framework of emotional design, this paper points out the intrinsic connection between emotional elements and water-saving product design, i.e., the emotional resonance formed by the user's perception of the shape and function of the water-saving product and the subconscious or spontaneous water-saving behavior. Water-saving products designed based on the three-level theory of emotion can build suitable water scenarios for different environments, enrich the emotional experience of users, enhance the use and emotional value of water-saving products, and help people to establish water-saving concept and the use of national water resources.
