Eco Trend Spotter

As many of us settle in for the warmest day of the year so far, we felt it  highly appropriate to turn our attentions to water and water saving gadgets. Water is a resource we often take for granted but one which is precious and should be used as efficiently as possible, especially over the warm summer months.

Here in the UK, the average every person uses 150 litres of water every day in their homes.  In 2008 we each used up 50% more water than we did 25 years ago, a massive jump and much of which is accounted for by wasteful and inefficient practises.

Taking a few simple steps to increase water efficiency around the home will not only save more of this precious resource but it will significantly reduce household energy bills and save all the CO2 emissions associated with them.

So the team at ECOutlet have  put together a few water saving gadgets which can help save water over the summer months.

Top 5 Water saving  gadgets and devices recommended by ECOutlet.

• Rainmate Water Butt - £44,99 - If every house in the UK used a water butt this would save about 30,000 million litres of water every summer!
• Ecosavers Shower Timers – £4.89 – Showers account for 12% of household water use.  Cutting shower times from the average 7 minutes to 3 or 4 minutes will dramatically reduce water use.
