Conserve hot water

Immediate actions - no cost

  •  Have a shower instead of a bath.
  • How much time do you spend in the shower – could you reduce this by say 10%?
  • If you do have a bath, share the water with a friend.
  • When you have a bath – no more than 4”
  • Run the dishwasher or washing machine at full load…and run them on economy settings.
  • Do you need to wash your clothes as often – could they go a bit longer before they’re washed?

  • If your tank isn’t spray insulated with foam, fit a jacket to it.
  • Reduce the temperature of stored water to the minimum that is safe (XXC)
Small changes - medium cost

 

  • Fit a low flow shower head that traps air to make it feel like a more powerful one.
  • Could you live without your power shower?
