Just a few ideas to save water at home

• You can waste up to 9 litres a minute by just letting the water pour down the sink. Turn off the tap while cleaning your teeth, shaving or washing your face.
• If you do have baths, just half fill them, Taking a shower could save you up to 400 litres a week.
• Fix any dripping tap, you can waste 90 litres a week which will cost a lot more than what might just be the price of a new washer.
• Don’t overfill the kettle when making a cup of tea. Only fill and boil what you need, this will save you money on your energy costs too.
• Only use the washing machine and the dishwasher when you can put on a full load. It wastes both water and energy to run only a half full machine.
  Keep cool water in the fridge so that you do not need to run water down the sink to have a cold drink.
• Fit water saving device in your cistern to save when flushing, this can save you 3 litres a flush, you will find such a device called the HIPPO in our shop.
• Think before throwing used water down the drain, eg water in a pan after cooking, this could be reused for watering plants around the house when cooled down, or in the garden.
• Check for home for leaks, hidden water leaks can be wasting water without you even being aware of it. A good way to check for leaks is, if your property is metered, then read your water meter and do not use any water for a couple of hours and go back to check that the meter reads exactly the same. If it does not, there is a leak.
