With a spanner and some washers these can be fixed quickly and easily. 2 Toilets Toilets account for almost one third of all household water usage. A water efficient dual flush toilet uses 6 litres on full flush and 4 litres with economy flush. This is less than half of a traditional toilet that uses 13 litres per flush. By installing a dual flush toilet, you will make significant water savings. Alternatively put a few stones or sand in an empty water bottle then fill it with water and place in your cistern, which reduces the amount of water each time it flushes. Showers The increasing popularity of Power Showers is a significant concern because spending over five minutes in a Power Shower can use more water than taking a bath. Taps Buy an aerator for each of your household taps. The aerator spreads the stream of water coming out of your tap into tiny droplets. This will prevent splashing and save water. Dishwashers Washing plates by hand in the kitchen sink accounts for almost 10 per cent of household water consumption. You can save water by installing a water efficient dishwasher that will use the minimal amount of water necessary to clean and rinse. However, you must always wash a full load of dishes to gain maximum water efficiency. Washing Machines Do not be misled by energy efficiency labels. The rating is based on electricity usage and not on water usage. Some A+ energy rated washing machines use 14 litres of water per kilogram whereas water efficient washing machines use less than half of this amount. Garden Lawns Regularly watering your garden lawn with sprinklers can consume a large amount of water. You can save water in the garden, avoid using weed killer and sell your lawnmower by installing an artificial lawn. Water Butts Why only save water when you can collect it as well? Water butts are inexpensive, easy to install and you will be amazed how much water you can save each year by using a water butt in your garden. Sell it fast with AWOL Classifieds
