Saving water isn't only for times of drought; we cannot afford to waste this precious resource at any time.
To help you to save water, many water suppliers in the UK offer you freebies - bag-type water savers which you can put in your toilet cistern, meaning that you use less water every time you flush. The Hippo Water Saver is one of the most popular ones which is given away.
The Hippo Water Saver is one of the devices offered free of charge by many water suppliers in the UK
If you local water company does not offer one of these devices, it is possible to put a brick or large pebble in your cistern to achieve the same effect.
However you should always be careful that anything which you put in the cistern does not affect its working. Hippo Water savers can also be bought quite cheaply from Amazon.
Many UK water companies will also give you, free of charge, tap aerators and water saving shower heads, which mean that you use less water when you have a shower or when you are running the tap but you won't notice the difference.
Many companies will also offer you shower timers to help you know how long you have been in the shower and can limit the time that you spend showering, saving water in the process.
When applying for these free water saving devices, you will only be eligible to receive devices from your own region's water supplier.
Oh boy, don’t I just need this with two teenage kids in the house! It’s a more socially acceptable way of reducing costs than having them adopted
tumblespots I am definitely going to look into this because me and my Partner Bret Packer are interested in saving water. We use the water from the washing up to water the plants. God bless tumblespots and Mr Tumblespots.
As you have changed your persona completely, is there good news... have you finally be able to tie the knot?
MrsPacker Wow, well, what can I say?
Many congratulations, I am sure you are both very happy and I am so pleased for you.
Thanks for sharing, though one of the best ways of saving water is having a shower with a friend.
I'm always saving water I don't flush the chain on the toilet too often then the wife shouts at me for not flushing the chain so I shout back I'm saving water.
