If you consider that each person utilises the Toilet 3 times a day in average and 4 people in a house will use 12 times a day amounts to 96 Litres of water daily just for flushing. This will accumulate roughly to be 3000 Litres or 3 Units of water. If you can reduce the size of the Flush Container by 2 Litres, you almost save close to 1000 L of water Monthly.
It is possible to convert or change a High water consuming Flush Toilet to be low Flush type one without compromising on the sanity and Hygiene.
Convert your toilet to low flush.
Place a plastic bottle of water in the tank to displace some of the water used for each flush. Weigh the bottle down with pebbles or sand, if necessary. Or, try ordering a 'save-a-flush' or 'hippo' from your local water board.
- Not all toilets will be able to flush effectively with a reduced amount of water.
- Make sure there's a lid on the bottle, especially if there are pebbles or sand weighing it down. You don't want any pebbles or sand loose in your toilet tank.
