Water Saving Tips for the Home - 28.01.10

Top 10 water saving tips:

1. Install a rainwater tank
Install a rainwater tank and have it plumbed into your toilets and washing machine

2. Fit a water saving shower head
Showers can use up to 30% of water inside a typical home

3. Take shorter showers
Fit a 3 minute timer in your shower to remind you to hop out

4. If you have a swimming pool then install a cover
Up to 30,000 litres can be lost in evaporation

5. Make sure your toilet is dual flush
Replace all old 11 litre per flush toilets with new 4.5 litre full flush / 3 litre half flush suites

6. Create a water wise garden
Install native drought tolerant plants and mulch well

7. Buy water efficient dishwasher and washing machines
The higher the water star rating the better, and make sure you run with full loads

8. Fit a pressure limiting valve at the water meter
This will limit the pressure to the house and save water and put less stress on appliances and tapware

9. Install a grey water diverter system
These can re-distribute bathroom and laundry water onto your garden without hurting your back

10. Fix leaks
A single dripping tap can waste up to 12,000 litres a year so fix all drips as soon as you notice them
