[edit] Water conservation

Top tips

Use retro-fit devices like Mecon and Interflush

Taps can also be restricted, but use something like a Tapmagic in order to preserve the ability to fill a sink without waiting for hours!

Low flow toilets are a good idea, but care must be taken when deciding on which one. If your main drains are a distance away you will need a higher flow in order to get the solids into the main sewer.

Shower head restrictors can lower water use, but you will need a certain flow in order to avoid cold feet syndrome!
