With Eskom having just increased the Electricity price by 16% these kinds of changes can make a big difference to your consumption levels…
Water and energy are two commodities which are in short supply in South Africa. Through showering instead of bathing and using energy and water efficient showerheads, South Africans can conserve both of these resources with ease and simultaneously save themselves money.
According to Eskom, water heating accounts for up to 39 percent of the average household’s electricity bill. By switching to an energy and water efficient showerhead, setting your geyser to 60ºC and sticking to a seven minute ‘power shower’ you can save around 35 litres of water every time you shower.
