Tip 3 – Dual flush
Geberit offers both the flush stop and the dual flush. It is not necessary to flush the maximum amount of water through the toilet. But there’s no need to worry for those who are not yet equipped: a flush stop can be retrofitted quickly and easily.
Tip 4 - Turning off the faucet
It takes time to clean your teeth, wash your hands, or shave. You do need water at the beginning and again at the end, but there is no sense in letting the water run throughout. So, turn the faucet off temporarily and save a considerable amount of water in the process.
Tip 5 - Reducing the amount of hot water
Hot water is the most problematic water in any household; heating it in your own boiler means using additional energy. Furthermore, it always takes a while for the hot water to make its way from the boiler to the outlet. In the meantime, unused cold water splashes out of the faucet. Washing your hands quickly with hot water results in disproportionately high water consumption. A rethink could well pay off.
Tip 6 - Mending a dripping faucet
A constantly dripping faucet doesn’t just get on your nerves, it also puts a strain on your water bill – and the environment. This is something you should fix as soon as you can. A dirty or worn seal is usually the reason for a dripping faucet. It doesn’t take much to clean or replace a seal, and it pays off two to three times over.
