You can instantly improve the functionality and efficiency of your home with a much improved shower enclosure.?Many people overlook just how much water can be wasted in the bathroom environment.
There are many ways to cut down on water usage such as fitting modern showers and more economic toilet flush systems.? It is surprising how much water and money you could save by making just a few changes in your bathroom.
Do Your Bit for the Environment
I like to do my bit for the environment.? I make sure I recycle as much waste as possible and have installed a compost bin in the garden for kitchen scraps.? However I didn?t realise just how much water I was wasting in my bathroom.
- I live in a coastal area of the UK.? The water charges are much higher here than many other areas of the country.
- In fact in recent years the water rates have got to be really quite expensive and this just adds to the burden of the household bills.
- I hadn?t really considered that it was possible to reduce my bills by reducing my water usage.
- Water was something I had got used to taking advantage of without considering the impact my usage was having on my bills or the environment.
- However with the population increasing every year water is becoming a precious commodity.
- The water quality in the UK is excellent but maintaining and expanding ?these wonderful systems can be expensive.
- This means water companies do have to increase their costs overtime and this can seriously impact on households.
- These days my annual water bill costs me well over ?600 and this is an expense I really could do without.
- I realised that if I couldn?t expect the water bills do come down in the near future then I would have to look into reducing my water usage.
Getting Started in the Bathroom
The area I started looking at was the bathroom.? My bathroom was quite old fashioned and only had a deep vintage bath. I do love having baths but this does use a lot of water every day. I wanted to reduce my water usage but without having to miss out my daily bathing routine.? I like doing my bit for the environment but I don?t want to start looking like a grungy eco warrior!
- ?I decided the first place to start updating my bathroom would be to install a modern shower.? This would help me save water over having a bath but without the need to reduce my washing routine.
- The traditional power shower design uses a lot of water but there are many excellent modern alternatives that are far more efficient.
- After a quick look I saw some attractive shower enclosures online.
- This would enable me to install a new shower without having to make too many costly changes to the current layout in my bathroom.
- The great thing about looking at shower enclosures online is that you can get everything you need at the click of a button.
- You can buy shower enclosures?and also all the fittings and fixings you need for the shower system itself online.
- I also found some lovely new bathroom furniture online and a new mixer tap for the sink.? This came installed with a special head fitting that reduced water usage without reducing functionality.
- At the recommendation of my friend I also had a new toilet fitted in the bathroom at the same time as the new shower.
- This replaced my old and out of date toilet with a bright new modern design that had a far more economical flush system.
- It only took a few minutes to choose from the great choices also?online.
- I made sure I had measured the space available before buying so that I bought a design that would fit properly.
- I am not very experienced at DIY so I did have a plumber fit the new shower, taps and toilet.? This only took a day and was surprising cost effective.
- It probably would have cost me more to buy all the tools and do the job myself (and it was certainly much quicker!).
- Using a plumber had the benefit of the ensuring the bathroom was updated quickly without any downtime.
- I want to reduce my water usage but I don?t want to look grungy whilst waiting for my bathroom to be completed!
I was pleased with my choice of shower enclosures and the rest of my new bathroom water-saving appliances.? Once the shower was fitted I didn?t look back. I love the convenience of having a shower and this is so much quicker and easier than filling up the bath.
It didn?t take long to see just how much difference these modest changes to my bathroom made to my water usage.? I am now looking at other ways I can save water around the home to reduce my water bill even further into the future.
