1. WATER HEATER
Instant water heaters are more energy-efficient than storage heaters. Switch it on before you shower and turn it off after use.

Insulate your water heater with a water heater blanket so it takes less energy to heat up.

2. SHOWER
Using a low-flow shower head instead of a normal one saves around three litres of water each time you shower. Take a shower rather than a bath and save up to 400 litres a week.

3. TOILET
Re-use laundry water to flush the toilet.

Fit a water-saving device, such as a bag or bottle, in your cistern to reduce the amount of water needed for each flush. This can save three litres per flush.
