Let's Save Water

Use water sparingly and continue the good effort of saving water in your daily routine. Each drop of water is too precious to be wasted. Let’s save water for the sustainability of future generations.

Water Saving Accesories

Low Flow Showerheads

These water saving shower heads produces a flow rate as low as 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) and is able to save 40% more water than regular shower heads.

Low Flow Faucets

The standard flow for faucets is 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM) but with the installation of a low flow faucet, it can be reduced to 1.5 GPM.

Thimble

These “tap inserts” – plastic discs the size of a 10-cent coin with five holes in them – that can be installed in their taps and shower heads. The inserts can reduce water flow by at least 15%, which means that each person can cut their water usage by at least 1,000 litres each month.

Dual Flush/Low Flow

An efficient dual-flush toilet can save up to 30% less water than a full flush toilet. Dual flush toilets handle solid and liquid waste differently from standard toilets, giving the user a choice of flushes.
