Install a water-saving aerator nozzle on your taps to mix water with air, thus reducing water consumption by 50%. It should be remembered that there are taps that already have a built-in aerator. How to check this? Open the tap and look at the water flow. If it is clear, the tap most probably doesn’t have an aerator, but if the water is frothy or bubbly, the tap has an aerator.
Close the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving and you will save up to 10 litres of water!
Give preference to showering instead of bathing. Showers require an average of 25–50 litres of water per wash, while baths require at least 100 litres.
Reduce the time spent in the shower, asthis will save up to 10 litres of water per minute (if you are using a shower tap with an aerator, which is indicated by the water flow – it is foamy and bubbly because the aerator mixes water with air).
Clean the shower system and mirrors regularly – this will result in lower water consumption compared to cleaning dirt that has already settled.
Choose shorter washing programmes and lower washing temperatures, which will result in the lower consumption of water, as well as electricity. For lightly soiled cotton clothing, a temperature of 30 °C – 40 °C is sufficient. However, do not forget to check the manufacturer’s instructions on the garment label before washing your clothes. It is recommended to wash bed linen and towels at a temperature of 60 °C to kill any living organisms in them, such as dust mites.
Only use the pre-wash function or soaking for extremely dirty clothes.
Always close taps and shower taps tightly – dripping taps can result in wasting up to 90 litres of water per day.
