Water, water, I need water and then it was gone.
With the heatwave upon us, it becomes very clear that we need to reduce our water consumption so everybody can enjoy having fresh water to our homes. Simple things can be done to reduce water consumption around your home such as planting a water wise garden, don’t run the tap while brushing your teeth and other tips that can be found in our blogs. But there are other things we can do to avoid using too much water in our home.
If you are considering some New Year renovations then it is the perfect time to consider installing appliances and fixtures that allow you to reduce the amount of water you use.
If you want to install a grey water system, it’s a good idea to factor this in during the planning stages. For example, it can be difficult to retrofit a grey water system that recycles water from the shower, bath and hand basins.
In your home, the appliances and fixtures that use most water will usually be the washing machine, dishwasher, shower and toilet.
Water-efficient appliances and fixtures can save you a lot of water and money in the long term. You can also make a big difference to Australia’s overall use of clean tap water.
By 2021 Australians could save more than $1 billion on our water and energy bills just by using more water-efficient appliances and fixtures. Under the Australian Government Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards scheme about 25 per cent of these savings will come from using more water efficient shower heads another 50 per cent from more efficient washing machines and over 20 per cent from water efficient toilets.
