We use a large amount of water inside the home for washing ourselves, our clothes, brushing our teeth, flushing toilets or cooking.

Explore different parts of your home to find out how to make small changes in your behaviour to use water more efficiently.

Before buying a new water using product for inside your home, check the manufacturer’s water efficiency labels. Australia’s Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme allows consumers to compare the water efficiency of different products using a star rating system. You can save money on water and electricity bills and help the environment by buying more water efficient products!
