The rising temperatures of the summer months mark an annual increased pressure on water resources across the country, but a few home measures can radically cut household water usage and help families make significant savings at the same time.
Rainmate Water Butt – Thousands of litres of rainwater fall on the average roof every year. So why not employ a water butt to collect this water and use it in the garden; it’s better for lawns and plants and better for the environment?
The Rainmate is unique in its field – it’s made from sturdy plastic to the highest specifications and simply clips together.
It has a 200-litre capacity and has a number of special features including its own integral stand, a childproof lid with leaf grill and tap.
The lid allows it to be used with a down pipe without the need to cut a hole and it is designed to catch and collect falling rain; a standard down-pipe rain diverter can also be used. Priced at £44.99.
Another simple water saving measure, the Brita Elamaris XL Water Filter Jug – involves keeping cool water stored in the fridge, so that you don’t need to run water down the sink, every time you need a cold drink.
With its modern, stylish look, this jug is ideally designed to fit into any fridge door.
The Elemaris XL Meter has a 2.2 litre filtered water capacity and a 3.5 litre total capacity; it also includes the first intelligent cartridge exchange indicator, with a 3-way measurement of water quality.
It determines not only how much time has elapsed since the cartridge was inserted, but also the volume of water that has been filtered and the level of hardness (limescale) in the water. Priced at £24.49.
