Save water

Myfinances.co.uk have suggested 5 ways to save water:

Fast five fixes to save money and water

1. Fit a Save-a-Flush device (also called a 'hippo' or even a 'bog hog') saving up to a litre a flush - a third of the water used by a typical family is flushed down the toilet.

2. Fix drips - a tap losing one drop a second will waste 15 litres of water (3 buckets full) a day. Fix it, or get it fixed.

3. Save water when washing - take a shower rather than a bath, do not leave the tap on when brushing your teeth and use the plug in the washbasin when shaving.




4. Save water in the kitchen - use a bowl instead of leaving the tap on when washing up, boil only the amount of water you need in the kettle, and keep cool water in the fridge rather than running the tap to get a cold drink. And do not use dishwashers or washing machines half full.

5. Save water in the garden - collect rainwater from the roof in a water butt, and give your plants a soaking once a week rather than watering daily.
