Here are three ways to use ­water more sustainably.

First of all, don’t leave the water running while you’re shaving, brushing your teeth or washing your face. This wastes a large amount of ­water. Install a hands-free technology option to ­conserve water while carrying out these everyday tasks.

Next, change your shower head. By switching to a low-flow shower head, you can ­reduce your shower water consumption by up to half.

Delta Faucets’ H2O Kinetic Technology shower heads allow you to conserve water without sacrificing your ­bathing experience. This technology can save the equivalent of 385 bottles of water in just one week. Showering for five minutes or less using a low-flow shower head is the most efficient way to bathe.

Remember, a single drop from a leaking faucet can waste 75 litres of water per day. Get specialised ­faucets that are leak- and lead-free (once inside the faucet, water isn’t in contact with potential metal contaminants), easy to install and longer ­lasting.
