Who knew that a low flush toilet could save you dollars with every flush. With the water rate increasing and the supply of fresh water decreasing every year this should on the top of everyone’s mind.
Every day Your average toilet use i.e. flushes per day is about 100 litres imagine this over the whole year you now have 36,500 litres wow how can we change this? Toilets account for 28% of indoor water use if this can be decreased it should be looked at.
Water faucet use, why not low flow? If your faucet uses more than 8 1/2 litres of water per minute, replace the aerator with a new water efficient aerator. A steady drop can waste up to 55 litres of water in just 24 hours, if not looked after, it could add up to 20,075 litres per year.
