Repairing water pipes without breaking so you use less water?

Did you already know that we use about 110 litres of tap water every day? Even worse: the vast majority we use for bathing or showering and flushing toilets. Every litre is basically drinking water that we just throw away. Time to spring into action and repair your water pipes without breaking them so you consume less water! Below we give you 5 more unseen tips for even lower water consumption (and fewer water problems like a leaking water pipe).

1. Take shorter showers
   Did you already know that if you showered for 1 minute less, you would save an average of 10 litres of water per shower turn? Talk about food for thought ...
2. Keep track of your water bill
   Toilets also consume a lot of water. Is your water bill skyrocketing? Then chances are there is something wrong with your toilet. A toilet that leaks a quarter of a litre of water per minute means a daily waste of 360 litres. That's asking for water problems! Our advice: regularly check the toilet flush.
3. Keep an eye on your water meter
   Besides the water bill, it is best to keep an eye on your water meters. Check them regularly, as this is exactly how you can detect water leaks. Take the meter reading at the beginning of a period when no water is consumed (e.g. just before you go to sleep). Check the meter reading some time later (in the morning). Is there a significant difference? Even then, a leak could be the underlying culprit.
4. Be creative with rainwater
   Rainwater is perfect for washing the car, watering the plants or flushing the toilet. And remember: rainwater is not only free, it also usually contains less lime than tap water!
5. Do not use too much washing powder for your washing machine
   Be economical with your washing powder when you put the washing machine to work. Because the more washing powder you use, the more foaming occurs. And as a result, your washing machine has to rinse more often. And that means higher consumption of both water and electricity.
