In this post we’re tackling the water bill.  Reduce usage without pain with these nifty gadgets.

7. Stop flushing it all away

Save half of the water that you’d usually flush away with the easy to install Interflush Toilet water saving device (30 litres per person per day saved).  Or if you absolutely aren’t handy about the home, save 3 litres per flush by putting a Hippo in your cistern.

8. Use greywater to fill your waterbutts when it doesn’t rain

Divert your bath and shower water to your rainwater butt by fitting this simple but ingenious bath water diverter to existing pipes.  Once installed, it is easily controlled from ground level by pull cords.  Make sure you only use biodegradable toiletries if you’re going to water plants with your bath water.
9. Save 70% of the water you use washing your hands and brushing your teeth
For a very small outlay you can save up to 70% of the water that comes out of your taps.   The Water Reduction Spray Magic Unifit simply attaches to existing taps and turns the flow into a spray.  Voila!
