Investing in an energy-efficient showerhead will not reduce your shower experience, just your electricity bill.
- Do not let the hot water run unnecessarily. Use cold water to wash your hands instead of hot water.
- Use a basin plug when washing.
- Shower instead of bathing. You will save up to 40% in water and use 5 times less electricity than heating bath water.
- Switch to a low-flow, energy-efficient showerhead. If the water pressure in your house is low, rather use an aerated showerhead instead of a flow restrictor. The minimum pressure on your geyser should be more than one bar.
- How to check whether your existing showerhead is energy- and water-efficient:

- How to check whether your existing showerhead is energy- and water-efficient:
- Hold a bucket under the showerhead for 12 seconds.
- Measure the amount of water in the bucket with a measuring jug.
- If more than 2 litres has collected, your showerhead is inefficient and should be replaced by a low-flow, energy-efficient showerhead.
