Dual Flush
Need
a new toilet? Get a dual-flush toilet.
With two flush options – a half-flush for
liquid waste and a full-flush for solid
waste – you’ll definitely help save up
litres of water in the long run. Also test
your toilet for leaks at least once a year.
Just put food colouring in your toilet tank
and check if it seeps into the bowl without
flushing. Fix it and you’ll start saving litres.

Cautious Buys
The
next time you’re shopping for ice
makers, dishwashers, reverse osmosis
units, coolers or even cleaning equipment,
consider and compare water use before
making your purchase.
Watering Solution
Put
ice cubes on top of the soil to give
your plants a cool drink of water without
overflowing, especially when it comes to
hanging baskets, planters and pots.
Less is More
Do
not overdo when fertilising your plant
as it would increase water consumption
despite promoting growth.
Smart Disposal
The
simplest act of dropping tissues in the
trash instead of flushing them will save
you water every time.
Fully Loaded
Save
up to 4,000 litres amonth. Just make
sure you run your washer or dishwasher
only when they are full.
Brush Off
When
brushing your teeth, the simple act
of turning off the water while doing it will
save you litres of water a day.
