SA Water - Your Home - Save water in your home
    
Your Laundry
 

 

Of all water consumed in the average South Australian home, approximately 16% is used in the laundry.

 

One of the easiest ways of saving water in the laundry is to install a water efficient clothes washer. Also in your laundry, you can:

  • Don’t turn the washing machine on until you have a full load or make sure you adjust the load setting to suit your washing requirements
  • Fix any dripping taps and install aerators on taps
  • Consider reusing greywater from the laundry on the garden (make sure you check out all the planning, health and plumbing requirements before undertaking this activity)
  •  If you’re buying a new washing machine check out the $200 rebate available for machines with a Water Efficiency and Labelling and Standards (WELS) rating of 4.5 stars or more.
