I want a water efficient kitchen

The following tips will help you to achieve this goal.

Small steps

Use your dishwasher and/or washing machine on full loads

A full load uses less water and energy per kilogram than a partial one. Try to only use these appliances when they’re full to save overall water use. Visit the WELS and appliance rating systems pages for more information.

Medium steps

Re-use your food waste by composting

Composting your food scraps is good for the garden and reduces the amount of organic rubbish going to landfill. It is also an alternative to using your in sink waste disposal.

If you can, install tap aerators to reduce water flow

Tap aerators can reduce the amount of water used while not reducing the pressure.
