Showerheads
Three
star rated showerheads use no more than 9 litres of water per minute,
while old style showerheads use 15 – 20 litres per minute.
If you shower for six minutes, a water efficient showerhead can
save up to 50 litres of water for each shower or up to 20,000 litres
of water per person per year.

Toilets
The new 4-star rated toilets by Caroma can
save the average home up to 35,000 litres per year. These new toilets
use just 4.5 litres for a full flush and 3 litres for a half flush.
If you can’t afford a new toilet, you can purchase small gadgets
to reduce the volume used with each flush of an older style toilet.
They work by causing the toilet to flush for as long as the button
is pressed. Waterwizz and Flexiflush are two types of these gadgets. |
