Many people believe that baths waste a lot of water. However, often a bath may use less water than showering. Follow these tips to ensure that you are using the bath water wisely!
- Adding cold water to cool very hot water is a waste of energy and water. So, make sure your hot water system thermostat is not set too high - ideally no higher than 60°C
- Only fill the tub with as much water as needed.
You can use your bath water on your garden too!
- Use a bucket to throw bath water onto the garden or wash your car with it!
- Check that soaps and detergents in the water won’t harm garden plants.
