Water Efficiency Measures

These pages by no means cover all the available water efficiency measures but instead highlight the more commonly used options.

Click on any of the following measures to find out more:

 

  • WC Cistern Dams (e.g. Hippo) reduce the amount of water required after each flush

  • Low Flush Toilets (e.g. dual flush toilets) can save up to half of the water used for flushing conventional toilets

  • Recycling Grey and Rainwater (e.g. collect rainwater using a water butt) for use in watering the garden or flushing toilets

  • Using Supply Restrictor Valves restrict the flow of water to taps and showers regardless of fluctuations in water pressure, reducing the volume of water used by up to 50%

  • Washroom Control Systems

  • Tap Controls - self-closing, push-to-operate and low flow taps can provide significant water savings

  • Urinal Controls - Automatic and proximity controls allow great water savings compared to urinals with no controls that flush day and night

  • Waterless Urinals

  • Purchase Dishwashers that use less water

  • Purchase Washing Machines with an eco-label water rating of A, B or C
