Stop wasting water and start saving money

Water's precious in Australia, and every drop counts when it comes to your energy bills. If you're ready to take action on reducing water waste in your home, we'll show you how simple upgrades can deliver significant savings for both your wallet and the environment.

The real cost of water waste in your home

Australian households waste thousands of litres of water each year through leaky taps, inefficient appliances, and outdated fixtures. This waste doesn't just affect your water bill—it impacts your energy costs too, especially when heating water for showers and washing.

The average Aussie home can reduce water consumption by up to 30% with the right upgrades. That's a potential saving of $300-500 per year on combined water and energy bills.

Water-saving technologies that make a difference

Your journey to water efficiency starts with understanding which upgrades deliver the best returns:

High-efficiency fixtures

• Low-flow showerheads use 40% less water while maintaining pressure

• Dual-flush toilets can save up to 35,000 litres per year

• Water-efficient taps reduce flow by 50% without affecting performance

Smart appliances

• 5-star washing machines use 50% less water than older models

• Water-efficient dishwashers actually use less water than hand washing

• Hot water heat pumps reduce energy costs by up to 70%

Smart monitoring

• Digital water meters help identify leaks immediately

• Smart irrigation systems reduce outdoor water use by 30%

• Leak detection devices prevent costly water damage

Your water-saving journey: Where to start

Taking action on water efficiency doesn't mean tackling everything at once. Here's your practical pathway:

1. Check for leaks - A dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres annually

2. Upgrade your showerhead - Payback period of just 3-6 months

3. Install tap aerators - Cost under $20 each with immediate savings

4. Consider major appliances - When replacing, choose 4-star ratings or higher
