Water

Make every drop of your hot water count

Hot water plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. From showers to laundry, baby's baths to cleaning dishes, water heating is the second largest energy user in our homes. That's why it's important to make sure you're using water efficiently.

Did you know that a leaking tap can waste 800 litres of water per month?
Drip, drip, drip go the energy dollars. That could be fixed with a simple washer which costs just pennies, and is simple to install.

Do you have an energy saving showerhead?
It could reduce your hot water use by up to 30%. In one year, that could be 28,000 litres of water. You could save significantly on your electricity bill - and cut your water bill too.

Top 10 ways to use hot water more efficiently
Yes, you can still take nice hot showers, but running a half-full dishwasher is a definite no-no.

Learn how to shop for energy efficient water products
An energy saving showerhead will usually pay for itself in less than a year. And a rubber washer pays off in days - fix that leaking tap now! Learn about products that help you cut your water consumption.
