Install a water saving shower head

If you want to save water in your home, I cannot stress how important it is to install a water saving shower head. If you're using a older, larger showerhead, you're wasting huge amounts of water while you shower, not to mention the energy you're wasting in heating the hot water that goes into that shower.

A standard shower head can deliver up to 25 litres per minute (250 litres for a 10 minute shower) while a low-flow shower head typically averages a delivery rate of 6 to 15 litres per minute (60-150 litres for a 10 minute shower). Reduce your shower time down to 4 minutes, install a water saving shower head, and you'll be saving massive amounts of water.

Installing a water saving shower head is easy and affordable. You can pick up a new shower head from your local hardware store or plumbing supplier from around $20. Then it's just a matter of unscrewing the old one (you may need a spanner) and screwing the new shower head in. Simple!

So, do our water resources a favor, if you haven't already, install a water saving shower head.
