Inside the average South Australian home, the greatest amount of water is used in the bathroom (20%) and toilet (11%).
One of the easiest ways of saving water in the bathroom and toilet is to install a water efficient showerhead and toilet cistern and ensure that you use them properly.
In your bathroom:
-
Take shorter showers
-
You can save up to 11 litres of water every minute by installing a water efficient shower head
-
Install a dual flush toilet - this can save you up to 50% on every flush
-
Check for a leaking toilet cistern. Put food colouring in the cistern. If the colour shows in the toilet bowl without flushing, you’ve got a leak
-
Turn the taps off when you’re brushing your teeth, washing your hands and shaving
-
-
Install aerators on your taps.
