Steps To Save Water



1) Turn the tap outside your house - to have lesser pressure.

2) Request for free thimbles from PUB, they will drop a packet into your mailbox. Put 1 thimble in all taps, shower heads, every water outlet that you have in the house(except storage heaters). Insert them between the aerator or any water outlet to slow down the flow. It's usually the FLOW of water that makes our meter ticking.

3) Use water saving bags/bottles. Fill them with water and put into our cistern(toilet bowl water tank). Less water will be filled into the tank, which means less water will be flushed away.

4) Accumulate laundry to wash - Never wash 1 or 2 pieces of clothing.

5) Waste water from laundry can be used for washing corridors/balcony or flushing the toilet bowl.

6) PEGO - Available in homefix at approximately $8.00. Change all faucet's aerator to water saving ones. It's purpose is to slow down the water pressure without compromising on the water flow. Package claims to save water by 50%
