10 simple ways to save water
Think toothbrush, think shower
You know that leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth is wasteful. But you can save much more water by treating your shower in the same way. Sometimes it's great to stand there and let the water pour over you but, if your morning shower is just a quick way of getting clean before the day gets going, you don't need to leave the water running the whole time.Get in, get wet, then turn the tap off and lather up. Then turn on again for a final rinse. It's amazing how much water, hot water too, you can save doing this. If you are fitting a new shower, make sure the controls are very responsive to make this technique easier. Whatever you do, avoid power showers as these use more water than a bath.- Stay up-to-date with the latest in technology with our gadget guru's brand new weekly blog
