Have you had any experience with these - they sound good and was wondering if you have got one - are they worth sending for ?

A cheaper method to save water in the toilet is to place a housebrick in the cistern away from the ballcock., or a bottle filled with gravel.

I have a flush-saver in both my toilets. They were sent to me, free, when I moved into my house.
Don't know if they really do work, but my water bills are very low, because I am careful with how I use water.

I'd imagine that, unless you're on a meter chappie, that everyone around you must have fairly low bills as well. Ours are high, so blow it - I'm going to use up what we pay for! : )

Ice, I have a meter, and I use much less water than the Water Board's stated "average usage".
|
|
|
the house brick is a good idea for saving water but the drawback is you sometimes need a stick !

Yes, a friend of mine moved into a new house where there was already a meter installed. Her and her husband found that it was a lot cheaper than paying a monthly amount, but then they had a baby. After a while,the extra use of water for washing and cleaning shot the charges up by quite a bit. Having never had a water meter, I don't know which's best. for a single person, or a couple without children at home, it's probably well worth having a meter installed.

Being a laydee, my ahem deposits are always petite, but I do know where nono's coming from.

Ice, I was recently given a projected figure of £144 for a year's bill.
If I was paying un-metered, the bill for a year would be £580. So it's a big saving for us. And I like the challenge of saving/using water sparingly.

what's that funny smell???
|
|
|
Wow - a huge saving indeed! Stick with that meter hun - sounds a lot better!! Would the unmetered amount've covered drainage/sewage charges as well?
I like to be mean with washing up liquid!!! I can make a bottle last for ages, without skimping on the actual cleaning. : )

I was waiting for a comment like that from nono!

I am on a meter...with a brick in the cistern.....and I pay £27 per month,which seems a lot compared to you chappie. I don't think I use that much....showers,4 loads of laundry a week,and just the dishes of one person. But I imagine the charges vary across the country.

drop a brick in your cistern
saves £££££££££££££££££££££££££
but do it gently
you know how much plumbers charge lol
|
|
|
Yes Ice, that amount's the total water bill.
I think we manage to keep it low because we don't have baths (the bath is not a full-sized one) and it's not comfortable anyway.
I also use the water from the garden butt when I can. Flushing the loos, washing the car, watering the garden.
And before nono tells ya different, we get regular showers, just keep 'em fairly short! lol.

Fill a freezer bag with water, does the same as a brick and not as dirty.
Or if you live on your own, just flush the loo 3 times a day after you have had a number 2.
|
|
|
Pasta, that does sound high. Do you read the meter yourself, to check the bill?
|
|
|
It does include drainage/sewage
maybe water costs more down here by the sea...lol
|
|
|
A friend of mine pays just over £30 a month. She lives in a 3 bed, semi, has one loo and no children at home. I agree with you chappie - I think it must depend on the area in which someone lives.

Hey folks I'm gonna bid ya goodnight. Got to be up around 7.00 am.
Sleep well y'all.
Catch yer later! xx
