Water Saving Shower Heads - DOit.television

There are many simple things we can do around the house every day to help save water, money and to help the environment.

In order to reduce water wastage check for leaks in taps, pipes and dishwasher hoses. Just one leaking tap can waste more than 2,000 litres of water a month!

Water efficient taps or tap aerators are a great, inexpensive way to cut your water usage without you even noticing. There’s a huge variety of water saving showerheads on the market and you’ll find what you need depending on budget and the type of plumbing you have. Some showerheads can’t be used with all plumbing systems so make sure you are familiar with the system you have before purchase. If you’re not 100% sure then call a licensed plumber.

Basically, water saving showerheads have aerator inserts, which reduce the amount of water delivered through the head, but with new designs you wont even notice the difference in water pressure.

On average, you could save 25,000 litres of water per year – enough to fill a backyard swimming pool, and you could save around $100 on your water bill and around one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions per year. That’s an incredible saving on such a small outlay.

Installing a water efficient showerhead won’t stop you enjoying a great shower but it will help you save water, money and the environment.

For further information on showerhead devices and possible subsidised installation by a professional, check out websites of the water authorities in your local area.
