Save Water, Energy & $

Water saving tips often save hot water also. If you are a small user of water consider getting a water meter as they will only charge you for the water used and not the standard rate.

  • run your dishwasher only when it’s full
  • turn your taps off properly and repair dripping taps
  • store drinking water in the fridge instead of running the tap cold.
  • fit a stormwater collection tank.
  • connect the stormwater collection tank to the toilet cisterns, and washing machine.
  • connect the stormwater collection tank to garden hose taps.
  • fit a water saving shower rose and no it does not have to mean it dribbles out, the volume is less but the pressure is the same.
  • make sure the hot water cylinder is not over flowing water.
  • check for leaking piping under the house.
  • run the washing machine on cold. Some times you will need to run it on hot to disolve soap build up.
  • lower your water pressure by fitting a limiting valve.
  • fit flow restrictors to some taps eg basins.
  • make the kids use a timer when in the shower set to 5 minutes.
  • Turn taps off while you shave, and brush your teeth
