Dave’s top tips - Water saving dual flush cisterns

Regardless of all the rain that may have fallen in the last year, many will still be paying a hefty price for water. If you’re on a water meter here is a quick tip to save pounds being flushed down the toilet. And if you’re NOT on a water meter then check your bill. You may find that they charge you a percentage of your rateable value. Check this valuation date and I bet it is based on when your property was valued at its peak in the boom, Property prices have come down since then but I bet your rateable value hasn’t for your bill. So why not fit a dual flush water syphon to your toilet.

This is fairly easily installed in a few hours according to your type of cistern. It gives you the option for a full flush when required or just a partial flush that can save between two or six litres per flush. Add that up over the days and weeks and it soon mounts up to a considerable water saving. Maybe even consider a water meter if you feel you may be better off. All new properties are now automatically fitted with a meter as standard but many older properties could well benefit. Other options such as a water butt could also give great savings especially as now we are in the gardening and growing season.
