Electricity is needed to pump it and to warm it. We don't usually save water, as our well must be used or water will be spoiled and well will be blocked. In dry summers we might run low on our well, so then we use it sparingly, but if we have enough water, we will use it. Our septic system is without chemicals and after prosessing, water flows to ditch. And in dry summers our waste water keeps that ditch alive. I'm willing to pay for that.<br />But we do use much less warm/hot water than many others, mainly because we don't take long showers every day. Hair washed only when dirty ( with 3 teenagers this is mostly theoretical, but...) all water-using machines are tapped to cold water.Ulvmorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475774550471643902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-18601066491228221512021-03-03T20:06:40.088+11:002021-03-03T20:06:40.088+11:00Water is so precious and it is oh so easy to waste...Water is so precious and it is oh so easy to waste it. I was told by the man who installed our air con that the water that drips from the air con is demineralised so is good for irons etc. I am not great at collecting shower water as it find it far too heavy to carry safely. But I watch every drop that I can. For example I do rinse dishes as it is not necessarily run daily but that water is kept to small amount and used repeatedly. I also have a small basin to put in the sink to save water.<br />Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-37836288711083052582021-03-03T19:10:55.830+11:002021-03-03T19:10:55.830+11:00I use my shower warm up water to wash the bath out...I use my shower warm up water to wash the bath out when I have finished (I have an over the bath shower).Chloe's Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725878592738954692noreply@blogger.com
