Total water solutions and saving
The typical household uses about 770 litres of scheme water per day. By collecting rainwater and using it in your garden, for drinking water, outdoor cleaning and applications inside your home, you can reduce your water consumption and save money on your water bill.
Water Saving Tip #1: Install a rainwater tank
Each year, around 50,000 litres of water could be collected from the average home’s roof area and used to supply part of your household’s water needs.
Water Saving Tip #2: Turn off your irrigation system in winter
Use the rainwater harvested in your Jo Jo tank!
Water Saving Tip #3: Install a greywater re-use system
Greywater re-use systems are another way you can use water efficiently by irrigating your garden with greywater – which comes from places such as the bath, shower and washing machine – instead of precious drinking water. Call our staff for free advice regarding greywater systems.
