How to Reduce Water Wastage in the Bathroom

The average home owner wastes a staggering amount of water every day, and it may not be immediately apparent why. The smallest habit changes could easily contribute to enormous savings on water and heating bills; in fact as much as 2/3 of the water we actually use on a daily basis in used in the bathroom, so what better place to start!

Heating Water

It’s not just water that we tend to waste in the bathroom; 25% of the heating supplied to our home is used to warm the water we use to wash and bathe in, so by reducing the amount of hot water wasted we can cut heating bills too!

It’s common knowledge that taking a shower uses far less water than taking a bath does, but many people shower for far too long, using up far more than a bathtub’s worth of water. If possible, substitute baths and long shower sessions with shorter shower sessions, this will reduce heating usage and water usage simultaneously.

Water Saving Fittings

There are some fantastic water-conscious fixtures and fittings on the market that can help you reduce water wastage when spending time in the bathroom. Aerated taps mix water with air before it is emitted, saving water every second the tap is on, without sacrificing performance. Aerated showerheads work in the same way, and feature smaller holes from which water is emitted, further saving water without sacrificing performance.



If you’re not planning on upgrading your toilet to a water saving ‘dual flush model’ (which allows you to flush with a lesser amount of water when needed) then fear not, you can easily retrofit a dual flush syphon, it’s quick and easy to fit and shouldn’t cost you more than £20.

Patching Up Problems

Believe it or not, leaking toilets and taps are a major culprit when it comes to water wastage in the household. By fixing leaking taps and toilets, you could save up to 7,000 litres of water per year; again, cutting down on water bills and further doing your bit for the environment!

To detect a leaking toilet, simply take a bottle of food colouring and empty a few drips into the cistern, if the colour finds its way into the toilet bowl without being flushed, the cistern is leaking water and should be repaired!

So there we are, a few simple water and money saving tips to help you create a much more ecologically and economically friendly bathroom.


Worry not, use sensor taps in your washroom to save water.
