Business, Water-Saving Options for Your Home

We all need to work towards saving water and the easiest way to do this is to use products such as washing machines, dishwashers, showerheads and toilets that are water efficient. The WELS Scheme ensures that water-efficient products are now labelled, making it easier to see at a glance which ones use less water.

Installing rainwater tanks is another great water-saving option. Collecting rainwater run-off from your home to use on gardens, car-washing and for flushing can save many litres of water. Many homes have nowhere to store a large tank, but they can use the grey-water recycling method to save on water. There are two systems; one for using untreated water and the other for treating grey water for above surface use.

Gardeners can also save water by installing drip irrigation. It uses far less water, doesn't water your weed or pathway and very little evaporates on its way to the plants. Mulching the garden properly also reduces the amount of water needed.

The swimming pool is another area where water can be saved by the use of a pool cover to reduce evaporation and help keep the water clean. Backwashing need only be done for a few minutes until the sight glass water is clean.
