With the price of utilities continuing to increase, you will not be the only homeowner looking for ways to cut expenses and free up some resources. Most households will look at Solar Panels and how they can help cut bills, but the methods people tend to forget about are solutions for reducing the amount of water you use. In this article we run through some brilliant water saving products and explain how they can help you hang onto your money.

• Water Conserving Showers – These showers have a few benefits, starting with a massive reduction in water consumption, which can end up helping you reduce by up to 75%. Water saving showers can also reduce your heating costs whilst still providing the same temperature and performance you have come to expect. The only change that needs to be made is a new low water flow showerhead, which is a cheap and easy to fit, and could provide immense financial and environmental benefits.

• Low Water Content Baths – Low water content baths reduce the amount of water needed to run a bath as they are ...
... ergonomically shaped to fit the contours of your body, reducing the amount of water required, without making any compromises in comfort. This can reduce energy bills through less water being heated, and overall less water being used over time. These baths can also be combined with grey water recycling systems to further improve the energy efficiency of your household, and to help you cut even more costs.

• Eco-Friendly Toilets – Toilets unfortunately waste the most water out of all the bathroom systems; accounting for roughly 30% of the water used in our average daily routine. Eco-friendly toilets reduce the amount of water required per flush by around 2-4 litres, using just enough water to get the job done effectively. These water saving alternatives come available for domestic and commercial environments, meaning they could lead to fairly significant financial savings when used on a larger scale. These systems can also be combined with grey water recycling systems to further reduce water bills.

• Waterless Urinals – These urinals offer a range of benefits for both domestic and corporate environments which include cheaper installation, easier maintenance and better hygiene than conventional water flushing urinals. This can mean great savings for urinals which are used in a corporate environment, as well as reduced odor and increased hygiene, which can also lead to savings on cleaning products.

• Water Saving Tap Solutions – One of the most common reasons cited for our significant water use is our morning and evening bathing routine. Most will tend to leave the tap running when washing, or brushing our teeth. This can lead to us wasting a great deal of water, as much of it is not actually being used and is simply going down the drain. Water saving tap solutions not only cut down on the amount of water we used, they will also reduce our dependency on heated water, which will mean further reductions in the amount you pay for your energy bill. Water conserving taps are fitted with CLICK cartridge technology which creates resistance when the tap is not fully activated.
