Water Usage
Here some ways by which we minimise and re-use water
- Rainwater harvesting - 600L132gal of stored watered - enough to water the garden for 2 weeks
- Veggie patch irrigated using run-off from a shed roof
- Eco-shower heads
- Water 'Hippos' in older toilet cisterns
- Low flush toilets in all refurbished areas
- Dishwasher is a Bosch Classixx with rated water use of 12L2.6gal per cycle
- Washing machine - LG FD422 with rated water use of 7L1.5gal per wash - we tend to interrupt rinse cycles where they are not needed
- 'Scrap Water' is used to water the indoor plants
