All our tips for consuming less water

• Find leaks and fix them quickly. A dripping tap is up to 5 liters per hour wasted (120 liters per day), a leaking toilet flush, more than 600 liters per day, (i.e. the daily consumption of a family of 4 people).
• Prefer quick showers (less than 5 minutes) to baths;
• Turn off the water while soaping;
• Install foamers on the faucets. They mix tiny air bubbles into the flowing water. The flow is thus reduced by 30% to 50% without losing comfort!
• Install an economical hand shower that limits water flow while optimizing jet pressure. As a result, up to 75% of water is saved! And by using less hot water, you also save energy.
• Do not pre-wash dishes before putting them in the dishwasher;
• Fully fill your washing machine or dishwasher before use.
• Install an automatic drip irrigation system;
• Install a rainwater collector. For a 100 square meter roof, that's 70 cubic meters of free water per year.
