How to Reduce Water Consumption for Your Appliances

Understand what appliance you need before buying

Choosing a water efficient product will cut your water costs

No two households are the same, so when choosing a new appliance, it’s important to do a little research to determine the appropriate appliance for your requirements. When choosing a product, consider the following:

• How often will you use it, and what size will suit your household? Determining your exact requirements will go a long way to maximizing the water efficiency of your appliance. Too big an appliance will use far more water than necessary; too small an appliance will require more frequent use, which will also increase water consumption.
• Use the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) website to compare the water use and efficiency of different models. Front loaders are generaly more efficient than top loaders. However, a number of water efficient top loaders are now on the market. You can save over 50 Liter or more with every load, making you use less detergent (saving even more money).

It’s no secret that running a household is a costly exercise, and we’re all looking to save money where we can. The good news is, it’s easy to save money on energy and water bills, simply by being smart about the appliances you choose for your home. Here is our advice for choosing water-efficient products for your household.

To make sure you get the best possible value for money, as well as helping the environment through water-efficient products, is to shop around for advice and quotes from more than one source.

• Talk to a variety of suppliers about your options. Having more than one quote will give you a range of options when it comes time to choose your new appliance, which means you can make the best possible choice for your household.
• Make sure to ask suppliers about additional costs (like new fittings).
• Talk to a licensed plumber about what sort of appliance would be most suitable for your home.
• Check the warranties for a range of different models, as these can differ greatly.

It’s important to stay well informed when it comes to water consumption.
