How to save water in your home, saving water is easy!

Here are some tips and advice on saving water around the Home.

  • Adding a Hippo water saver to your toilet cistern can save 3 litres of water per flush, this is particularly effective on older toilets with larger cisterns.
  • Don't leave taps dripping, it's an obvious point but you'd be surprised how much water is wasted this way.
  • Turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth, a constantly running tap uses lots of water which you won't even be using.
  • When using your washing machines, only use the quick wash/economy setting to save water.
  • Don't use dishwashers if you can avoid it, half filled dishwashers use the same amount of water as full dishwashers so they are a big waste of water.
  • Taking showers uses less than half the water of a bath so try to shower where possible. This doesn't apply to power showers, these can often use the same or more amount of water as a bath!!
