Water saving tips
Save money and protect the environment with our simple water saving tips to reduce your water consumption
Small changes – big savings?
Sometimes taking small steps to water efficiency can make a huge difference to your bottom line.
General upkeep
- Fix leaking taps – it could save you a bathful of water a day
- Check for leaking pipes – use our tips to reduce wastage
- Clean business vehicles with a bucket and sponge – or use a hose with a shut-off valve, so it isn’t constantly running
- Use pipe insulation so your pipes aren’t at risk of bursting in a cold spell
In your bathrooms
- Fit a free water saving hippo in your cistern – it can save up to three litres per flush
- Make sure taps are always turned off
- Invest in water saving devices – we can retrofit, or install new
Before spending anything on new water-saving measures, it’s a good idea to draw up a simple water management plan. Our teams save water for a living – get in touch and they’ll be more than happy to talk through options for your business.
Outdoors
- Use a broom and a bucket of water to wash down the patio, rather than a hose
- Install a water butt to collect rainwater – perfect for watering your green areas
