- WELS-rated showerhead use only 7L of water per minute. Old-style showerheads use up to 20L per minute.
- Don't leave the water running while cleaning your teeth or shaving. Use the plug to reserve a little water for rinsing instead.
- Don't let cold water run down the drain while you're waiting for your shower to heat up. Instead, capture the water in a bucket and use it to water your plants.
- If you have an older toilet with a large capacity, try putting a bottle filled with water or a brick in the cistern to reduce the amount of water used with each flush.
- If you're installing a new toilet, buy one with a WELS-rating. These use just 3-6L of water with each flush,
- Even if your toilet is only leaking slightly it can waste many thousands of litres of water every year. An old trick is to put food dye in the cistern and check the basin 30 minutes later. If the water is coloured, you need to check for worn or corroded parts.
- Try to restrict your shower time - five minutes is plenty of time to get clean. Put a timer in the shower if it's hard to keep track.
- Save baths for special occasions and don't use more water than you need.
