WALSALL, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 07/11/13 — Glorious sunshine, the smell of barbeques and warm nights all signify one thing; summer is officially here at last! With the rising temperatures it becomes more important to try and save water as we do sometimes experience water shortages in the UK. With this in mind we’ve created HomeServe Handy Hints to help you save water.
By making some minor changes you could not only help to reduce your bills, but also become more environmentally friendly too! So read on to find out more with our latest Handy Hints.
Saving water in and around your home
-- Don't leave your taps running - Do you leave the water running when you
brush your teeth? Most people do, but by simply turning off the tap
whilst you clean your teeth you could save a significant amount of water
across the year. By making this small change you could help to make a
positive difference to your water bill.
-- Be sensible with your settings - All appliances have different washing
settings so try to use the most efficient settings available. Another
top tip to avoid water waste is to ensure your dishwasher or washing
machine is full before use so that you get value for money with each
wash.
-- Think of alternative uses for your used water - When you give your pet
fresh water, don't throw the old water away. Try using it instead to
water your trees, plants or shrubs.
Saving water in your garden
-- No butts about it - Consider investing in a water butt for your garden.
Apart from the cost to purchase it, collecting the water is free and it
can be used to water your plants and shrubs to help keep your garden
looking lovely.
-- Grab a bucket and sponge - When cleaning your car why not reach for a
bucket and sponge and do it yourself? It may take a little longer than
using a car wash but by choosing to clean your car this way you'll avoid
a car wash that invariably uses more water.
HomeServe also offers boiler cover insurance as well as insurance for plumbing, drains, electrical wiring and gas central heating.
