Aerators:

Aerators are an easy and simple way to reduce your water consumption. They can be fitted onto almost any tap (just screwed on) and can reduce water usage from 20L/minute to 6L/minute by adding oxygen to the water to reduce the flow. There is an aerator suitable for all types of applications and budgets.

Water Saving Showerheads:

We all use a lot of water showering every day – 58,000L/year with an average 20L/minute showerhead. There are water efficient showerheads available that will save you thousands of Litres of water while still giving you that luxurious & cleansing shower. When purchasing a showerhead look for the water rating – water efficient showerheads are rated at 3 star with an average of 9L/minute. Water saving showerheads are easy to install and can be done by yourself in about 10 minutes. By switching to a 3 star 9L/minute showerhead you can save over 26,000L of water per year as well as over $80 on your water bill and $170 on your power bill!

Water Saving Flush Devices:

Flushing your toilet uses about 12L while a half flush uses between 3 – 5L. A quarter of household water goes down the toilet – about 170 Litres. There are simple and easy ways to reduce the amount of water you literally flush down the toilet and you won’t even notice the difference. Our range of water saving flush devices are easy to install and once they are installed you will never even notice the difference (besides the savings on your water bill)!

Other Handy Water Saving Ideas:

Drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water, it tastes better, it’s better for you and much more environmentally friendly.
Fill your sink with water and wash the dishes instead of having the tap running. Using your dishwasher can be more efficient than washing the dishes yourself so make sure it is full before you press the on button.
When buying a dishwasher/washing machine make sure it is water & energy efficient by looking for the energy/water rating (the more stars the more money you will save). Most of domestic water usage comes from those two appliances so it is worthwhile making sure they are efficient. There are rebates for some states as well.
The Every Drop Shower Saver lets you turn your shower on and off without losing temperature or pressure at the flick of your finger. It is so easy and can help you save water while you get all soapy! Click here for more info...
