Laundry

15-20% of all water consumed in the home is used in the laundry. In addition to water, washing machines also use large amounts of energy and detergents. Leaking taps and hot water pipes can also be sources of water and energy loss. Take a look at our practical tips for saving water in this critical room for any household.

Leaks

You can lose a few litres of water an hour from a slow dripping tap. If the leak is from a hot water pipe or a pumped water supply, you’ll also be facing a significant energy cost. A continuously running toilet can waste up to 96,000 litres of water per year, yet toilet leaks often go unnoticed as the water trickles down the back of the bowl. This makes fast detection and repair even more important.

Showerheads

The easiest way to save water in the shower is to take a short one. However, if you fit a water efficient showerhead you’ll save tens of thousands of litres of water a year and reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas. A water efficient showerhead can save a family of four up to 35,000 litres per year.

Connecting Rainwater Tanks

Rainwater tanks can be connected to the toilet and laundry of a home. This helps to maximise the benefits from the rainwater tanks as water can be used year around and not just during the dry months of the year. A licensed plumber must connect your new or existing rainwater tank into the home toilet or cold water washing machine tap.

Maintaining Rainwater Tanks

Rainwater tanks, be them plastic or steel, are excellent but we must ensure they are safe and in good working order. Here are some great tips on maintaining your rainwater tanks.
