Water is one of those amenities you’d want to take the time to figure out some of the things you can do to save on the amount of water you consume in your new house. Below, we want to show you some very useful tips that can help you to save water:
- Save at least 6 liters of water a minute, by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth.
- Reduce the volume of water you use to flush your toilet by putting a cistern displacement device in your toilet cistern.
- Cut down on your showering time – showering too long can use up to 45 liters of water a minute.
- When using your washing machine or dishwasher, use full loads so that you don’t have to do much washing in between.
- Don’t waste any time with a dripping tap. Have it fixed immediately so that ir doesn’t waste up to 5,500 liters of water, annually.
- Use a water butt in your drainpipe so that you can make alternative use of the water it collects.
- Instead of using a hosepipe to water your garden, use a watering can, so that you can cut down on at least 1,000 liters of water per hour.
- Put room temperature tap water in a judge/bottle in the fridge to get cold, so that you don’t have to let the tap run cold before you drink it.
- Get a water meter installed – this can help you to keep an eye on the amount of water you’re using.
- If you need to buy household goods, make sure to buy ones which are water-efficient.
