Ideal Standard offers down-to-earth tips to save water at home
- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Water comes out of the average faucet at around 11 litres per minute. Don’t let all that water go down the drain while you brush.
- Fix your leaks. Dripping taps are hugely wasteful - losing around one full bathtub of water every 6 days. They are often simple to fix.
- Cut your showers shortfor some serious water savings.Cutting just one minute off your shower can save 8-16 litres each time. That’s around 24,000 litres a year saved by a family of four. Choose Idealrain handspray with 8l/min flow rate and use 57% less water compared to a regular handspray.
- Choose efficient fixtures. Like installing Ideal Standard mixers that have only 5l/min flow rate and ultra-low-flush toilets. Also look for water efficient dishwashers and washing machines.
- Keep an eye on your bill to spot leaks. If your water bill goes up suddenly, there’s a good chance that there’s a leak somewhere. Call in a plumber to check your lines to save water --and cash!
- Don’t run the dishwasher or washing machine until it’s full. Those half-loads add up to many litres of wasted water. Filling just one heavy load to the washing machine can save 5 litres each time.
- If you are hand-washing dishesmake sure you use water sparingly by turning off the tap at regular intervals instead of letting it run the whole time that you’re scrubbing.
- Rinse vegetables in a full sink or pan of water.
- Water outdoor plants in the early morning. This way you’ll need less water, since cooler morning temperatures mean losing less water to evaporation.
