This World Water Day, Turn Your Climate Vouchers Into Water-Saving Home Upgrades
With the recent announcement of Budget 2025, one of the key highlights is the introduction of new Climate Vouchers worth up to $500. Have you decided how to use yours yet?
In the spirit of World Water Day this March, why not take this opportunity to invest in water-efficient household products? From water-saving showerheads to energy-efficient washing machines, small changes can make a big difference in reducing water wastage and lowering your utility bills.
Let’s explore some practical ways to maximise your Climate Vouchers while doing your part for the environment!
1. Washing Machines
Upgrading to a water-efficient washing machine can result in significant water savings, but only models with a 4-tick rating under the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) are eligible for Climate Vouchers.
These machines use less water per load while maintaining excellent cleaning performance. In addition to conserving water, they also help reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.
If your current washing machine is giving you trouble or struggling to keep up with your household’s growing needs, now might be the perfect time to switch to a more efficient model and save both water and money in the long run.
2. Shower Fittings
Switching to a water-efficient showerhead can significantly reduce water usage without compromising your shower experience. Look for shower fittings with at least a 3-tick WELS rating, which ensures high efficiency while maintaining good water pressure.
If your current showerhead is old or has clogged holes that restrict water flow, upgrading to a new one can make a noticeable difference. A well-functioning showerhead not only improves water efficiency but also enhances your overall comfort, especially when unwinding with a warm shower after a long day.
3. Basin Taps and Mixers
Upgrading to water-efficient basin taps and mixers is a straightforward yet effective way to cut down on water usage in bathrooms and kitchens. With a 3-tick WELS rating, these fittings are designed to reduce water flow while maintaining full functionality.
Beyond practicality, did you know that replacing your basin taps and mixer can also enhance the overall look of your bathroom? The best part is that they can be swapped out without any hacking, making it an easy and hassle-free upgrade.
4. Sink/Bib Taps and Mixers
Just like basin taps, switching to water-efficient sink or bib taps can significantly reduce water usage at home, contributing to overall water conservation.
Beyond saving water, some newer sink taps come with enhanced designs, such as built-in hoses, making it more convenient to rinse dirty plates and utensils. Upgrade today and turn dishwashing into a more enjoyable experience!
5. Water Closets (Toilet Bowls)
Modern water-efficient water closets are designed to use significantly less water per flush compared to older models.
In recent years, a new type of water closet has been gaining popularity, featuring a tornado flush swirl pattern instead of the traditional flush system. This design enhances cleaning efficiency, keeping the toilet bowl fresher with less effort.
Many major brands have incorporated this feature into their designs, offering not only improved cleaning efficiency but also stylish and aesthetically pleasing toilet bowls. Upgrading to one of these models enhances both functionality and the overall look of your bathroom while helping to conserve water.
