Did you know that the most effective way to save water around the home or workplace is to STOP water leaks.  Water leaks are not all that easy to detect, either as a slow trickle in a toilet cistern or sink, to an underground leaking pipe.  A small toilet cistern leak can waste an average of 3 litres/hour and even a slowly dripping tap can waste up to 20,000 litres/year—water you pay for but never use.

Here are a few suprising statistics...

​1. An inefficient showerhead can use between 15L and 25L of water every MINUTE.

2. Fix leaking toilets immediately. A slow, barely visible leak can waste more than 4,000L a year. Visible, constant leaks can waste more than 96,000L a year.
​
3. A tap leaking at the rate of one drip a second wastes more than 12,000L of water a year​.

An innocent-looking and inexpensive plumbing device has caused over 30,000 insurance claims over a twelve month period!  The device is called a flexi hose, a flexible pipe commonly installed in modern homes and used to replace standard copper pipe in older homes. They are used to connect wall outlets to taps, sinks, basins and tubs.

These flexi hoses can fail, and may cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to your home, especially if you are away on holidays! click on the Read More link below to find out more . . .

​There are many different types of water filters available on the market, making it difficult for consumers to know what is the best option for their household.  In addition, not all drinking water is the same, neither having the same contaminants or toxic substances present.  Treated water makes use of a chlorination process and fluoridisation of the water.  For health and taste reasons, some residents choose to remove these substances from their water supply.

When considering which water filtration system to purchase, it’s best to consider performance, cost, features, health impacts, warranty and ease of installation.  There are different types of water filtration systems available for under sink, countertop and whole house installation, including reverse osmosis, water distillers, ion exchange filters, ultraviolet disinfection and carbon black filters.
