Make every drop count with these water-saving tips

Category 3%.Com Properties

Water conservation is a hot topic these days and for good reason. Not only does it help the environment, but it can also save you money. But let's face it - there is a lot of information out there on saving water, but most people don't really know where to start. They know they should be doing something, but just don't know what.

With that in mind, we've compiled 3 helpful water-saving tips:
  1. Toilet - Upgrade to a dual-flush toilet: If your throne is older than 15 years, you could be flushing away up to 1000ℓ of water a day! In the quest to conserve water, you can turn yourself into an Egyptian pharaoh by installing a modern dual-flush toilet, which comes with an electronic sensor that switches between a half-flush for liquid waste and a full-flush for solid waste.
  1. Showerhead - Install a low-flow showerhead: While taking a luxurious pre-bedtime soak in the shower may be one of the greatest ways to relax, we don't always realise how much water goes to waste. You can cut your water usage in half by switching from a traditional fixed showerhead to an adjustable showerhead with a low-flow setting. It's easy to install one yourself with just a screwdriver and some elbow grease!
  1. Taps - Don't leave taps running: When it comes to wasting water, we all know that the main culprit is leaving taps running while we're brushing our teeth or having a bath. This can add up to 10% of your total water consumption each day! To put an end to this habit, consider installing a sensor that will automatically shut off the water when no movement is detected.
If the thought of cutting back on water makes you want to pull your hair out, don't worry - it can be done. Just remember, conservation is a gradual process; once you start saving water in one area, it will become second nature to look for ways to make every drop count.
