FREE Water Saving Techniques by Call The Plumber Sydney

Tips for saving water in the home.  Valuable and Useful information for you.

Every day, there are many simple things we can do around the home to save our most precious resource - water, help the environment and save money!

• Check for leaks - in taps, pipes and dishwasher hoses is an easy way to reduce water wastage. Remember, one leaking tap can waste more than 2,000 litres per month.
• Installing water efficient taps - this is a great, inexpensive way to cut your water usage without you even noticing the difference.  Tap aerators is also a great way for restricted flow on your tap.
• Install a dishwasher - Automatic dishwashers can use up to 40 litres of water per load. By using a dishwasher with at least a 3 star/AAA rating, you can get this figure down to 18 litres per load and still get the kind of sparkling clean dishes you're used to.
• Install one of the latest 3 star/AAA rating showerheads. It will still provide a great shower and will save around 10 litres of water a minute. They also save you energy costs, as you'll use less hot water.  Click here for our amazing FREE showerhead offer
• Check your water meter and bill to track your water usage. Check your water meter when all fixtures are turned off and if your water meter dial is spinning when you're not using anything - Call The Plumber Sydney as you may have a water leak. Click here for our contact details

  How to Save Water In the Kitchen

  • Rinse dishes in a plugged sink to save water running
  • Wash your fruit & veges in a plugged sink to save water running
  • Use a sink strainer to alleviate blockages
  • Keep a container of water in the fridge - this way you won't need to run the water until it is cool enough to drink
  • Thaw frozen foods in the microwave instead of in water
  • Turn your taps of lightly and replace washers often
  • Cook vegetables in steam or microwave instead of boiling them
  • Wait until you have a full load in your dishwasher before using it

  How to Save Water In the Bathroom

  • Rinse your razor in a plugged sink
  • Wet your toothbrush then rinse at the end of brushing
  • Wash your hands with a little water then quickly rinse instead of leaving water to run
  • Put a bucket at the bottom of your shower and then water your pot plants
  • Install a AAA rated dual flush toilet - these use 67% less water than a standard single flush toilet
  • Repair leaking toilet cisterns as they can waste thousands of litres of water every week
  • Try not flushing at night time
  • Don't use the toilet to flush away cigarette butts, tissues or other rubbish. These items can cause problems in your sewerage or septic system and wastes large volumes of water
     

  How to Save Water In the Laundry

  • Wait until you have a full load before you use the washing machine
  • Use the suds saver option if you have several loads
  • Install AAA rated water efficient taps as they use 50% less water than standard taps
  • Install flow control valves or restrictors and fix dripping taps

  How to Save Water In the Garden

  • Use native plants and a type of lawn that is adapted to the climate in your area
  • Group plants with similar water needs
  • Don't water your garden in the heat of the day as it will evaporate before it reaches the roots
  • Don't cut your lawn shorter than 3-4cm so the blades can still shade each other
  • Putting mulch on your garden will greatly reduce evaporation
  • Regularly check your outdoor taps, pipes and plumbing fixtures for leaks - just one dripping tap can waste 2,000 litres a month
  • Install a rainwater tank!   click here for our rainwater tank installation information page
  • When washing your car, park it on the lawn and use a bucket for washing and rinsing - this way you can save water, as well as water and fertilise your lawn - car shampoos use phosphates that are similar to many fertilisers.
