Water Wise Products

shower_timer Nearly 40% of water used in the home is in the bathroom, saving water here can have a big impact on your overall water usage. Fitting a 3-star rated showerhead uses no more than 9 litres of water per minute, while old style showerheads use up to 15–20 litres per minute. If you shower for six minutes, a water efficient showerhead can save up to 50 litres of water for each shower or up to 20,000 litres of water per person per year.
