Result

And there you have it, with a simple bottle of water, you save hundreds of liters of water every month :-)

Easy and cheap, right?

Now you know how to save water at home.

Toilets are the biggest drinkers of drinking water in the house!

Putting a bottle of water in the flush tank is a simple and very effective gesture.

With a bottle filled with water in the tank of my toilet, I save 1.5 liters of water with each use.

That's a fair amount of water, isn't it?

My water consumption decreases every time I go to the toilet.

It's a smart and easy trick to lower my water bills.

And while waiting for a dual-control flush, this trick allows you to reduce the volume of water used.

And when you know the price of water per m3, it saves a lot of money.

Why does it work?

Operation is very simple.

The water bottle takes up space in the toilet tank.

So when it fills up, it needs less water.

Concretely, the capacity of the flush is less important thanks to the bottle.

This decreases its ability to fill.

Additional advice

When I put the filled water bottle in the toilet tank...

I'm careful not to place it near the flush mechanism.

Why ? Because otherwise you risk blocking the exhaust system.

It is also not recommended to place a brick in place of the bottle.

A brick tends to disintegrate in water and can end up blocking pipes.

You can also use another very simple trick to save cubic meters of water.

Just don't flush every time you go to the toilet.

When you know that the volume of a flush is on average 12 liters...

We immediately measure the number of liters saved per flush

And don't forget to turn off the water in the toilets when you go on vacation.

If your flush is leaking, you'll save a lot of money.
