Did you know that thousands of litres of water are needlessly wasted every second? Of all the world’s water, only 1% is available for human consumption. Hence, the importance of conserving water is clear – and the best way to start is by doing it in your home.

You can begin by installing an eco-friendly bathroom system. And you can follow the tips below to save even more – and cut back on your water bill at the same time.

5 ways to save water in your home

1. Install a water meterMany people are surprised when they see how much water they use every day. A water meter measures how much water is used in your home, and is a valuable tool in saving water as it shows where wastage is occurring. Thus, it promotes water-wise behaviour in the home. After installation, many people report up to a 10% cut back in their use of water.

2. Install water saving fittingsLeading manufacturers of bathroom and kitchen fittings offer products that help to conserve water. Aerated taps are highly effective, as they combine air with water, thereby reducing the amount of water used. Two-way flushing systems on toilets offer two flush strengths – another good water saving method. A toilet cistern holds up to 12 litres of water. A regular flush uses all 12 litres, but a two-way flush uses only three or four litres if the lighter flush is selected.

3. Recycle grey waterGrey water is used water that is recycled for use in activities that do not need fresh water. A system that uses ultra violet rays is most effective in recycling, as the water is disinfected without harming the environment.

4. Promote water-wise behaviour at homeModerating behaviour is an important step in limiting water wastage. Bad habits, such as leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth, waste countless litres each day. Other small changes that make a difference are showering instead of bathing (saves up to 100 litres per time), inserting a two-litre bottle of water into the cistern of your toilet (saves 7,300 litres per year), fixing any leaks in a toilet (can save up to 30 litres per hour) and fixing a dripping tap (saves up to 10,000 litres per year).

5. Make changes in your gardenA garden can demand a large amount of water. Alien vegetation robs soil and other plants of water as it is not suited to the hot South African climate. Watering a garden is necessary, but watering during the hot hours of the day wastes water as it evaporates quickly. Using grey water to water plants is a successful method of saving fresh water supplies.

Save water by installing eco-friendly bathroom fittings in your homeTo save water, you can make a noticeable difference simply by making small changes to your routine. Install designer water conservation products in your bathroom and transform the space from ordinary to eco-friendly.

Another way of saving water is to wash out hands with cold water. It sometimes might not be very nice for our hands but it helps to save a lot especially when we water before the water will get warm – that is a lot of water to save.
