A recent twitter post I received showed a manufacturer offering a beautifully-crafted combined wash basin and toilet that recycles the basin waste water through the toilet reducing the overall water use by 30%.
However the annual cost of water from this high tech idea is around £140, whilst your utility will provide you the same water volume for around £14.
So why not look for simpler and more direct ways to save water? Repair any leaking overflow or dripping tap, put a water-saver bag in your old toilet cistern to reduce its flush volume, or remember to use the half-flush feature on your modern cistern.
If you and I reduce our water use following these simple changes, we might just avoid a hosepipe ban when summer finally hots up.
