How can you be sure that the savings we’ve quoted in litres and pounds bear any relation to the savings you can make in the real world?
We’ve calculated every figure with as much information as we could lay our hands on, including:
- Basic cost of a litre of water = 0.17 pence per litre [Source: Wessex Water]
- Average cost to treat waste water = 0.16 pence per litre [Source: Wessex Water]
- Average household occupancy in the Wessex Region 2.21 [Source: Wessex Water]
- Average water consumption is 150 litres per person per day for unmetered customers and 136 litres per person per day for metered customers [Source: Wessex Water]
- Estimated usage one person can save each day = one-third [Source: Waterwise]
So, rest assured that by buying, installing and using the water-saving products we feature, you will save approximately the amounts of water and money we indicate.
In fact, based on the above statistics, the average UK household can save over £100 a year off their water bill.
Small print
We have made a real effort to ensure accuracy wherever we have made a claim about the products we sell. It is important to us that you can realistically assess how much water you can save – only by really getting to grips with our individual and household water consumption can we help to make a difference.
Water-saving figures are based upon information from the product manufacturers. If your usage is higher than average, you would save a greater amount.
