Having a lower water bill is a challenge for many of us at a time of general price increases. It is possible to save on water, just learn a few simple tricks and learn to use water more economically. In addition to financial savings, you will also help the environment.
Efficient use of appliances
Using the dishwasher and washing machine only when they are fully loaded is one of the basic steps to save water. Modern dishwashers with energy-saving programs use less water than washing dishes by hand.
Wise dishwashing and cooking
When washing dishes by hand, it is advisable to use a sink filled with water, which saves water compared to washing under running water. Also, cooking in a reasonable amount of water and using the correct pot sizes can reduce water consumption.
Economical water fittings
Replacing old faucets with energy-efficient aerator models can significantly reduce water consumption. Furthermore, it is important to regularly check the water tap seals to prevent unwanted water leaks.

Using water from cooking and cleaning without water
You can also save water by intelligently using water from cooking. The water in which pasta or potatoes were cooked can be used to thicken sauces, soups or even added to dough. This method not only saves water, but also brings another flavor dimension to your dishes. It is not always necessary to use water when cleaning the home. Vacuum cleaners, brooms and dry cloths are effective for removing dust and dirt without the need for wetting.
Everyday habits
Small changes in daily habits can have a big impact on water consumption. For example, using one glass or bottle to drink throughout the day, keeping cold water in a jug in the fridge, or using boiled water from a kettle to water houseplants are simple but effective ways to conserve water.
Saving water in the home is not only about big changes, but above all about small but important steps. By adopting these tips and tricks, you can reduce your water bill while helping to protect the environment.
