Professional Water Audits in Brisbane

Have you ever considered having a professional water audit? In the face of rising utility costs across the country, many Brisbane households are looking for practical ways to cut water usage. Conducting an audit on the way you use the water in your home is a great place to start so you can understand where the water is being used, when, and in what proportion. This gives you a proper idea of which appliances are using the most water, and where you can change habits to reduce water wastage.

In Brisbane, Fixzit plumbing services carry out water audits in homes and businesses providing information on:

• Historical water use in the property and a rating of the efficiency in usage.
• Assessment of the types of plumbing fittings and appliances within the home or business
• Inspection for possible leaks to ensure excess water is not being wasted
• A number of strategies on water saving initiatives
• Many other recommendations depending what is identified in the audit.

Some interesting facts about usage

(And no, these haven’t been watered down!)

Leaks

• A slow dripping toilet cistern uses between 10- 260 litres for major leaks per day!
• A slow dripping tap – between 3-27 litres per day
• Pool or spas that leak waste up to 130 litres each week.

LEAKING TIP: Check your water meter figures once per month since an unexplained spike is often evidence of an unidentified leak. The sooner you know about a leak, the sooner it can be fixed and the sooner you can stop throwing money down the drain.

Water Usage in the Kitchen

• Washing dishes by hand uses about 15 litres per half filled sink compared to 25 per load for older dishwashers.
• Newer 5 star WELS rated dishwashers use LESS water per load than an average sink averaging about 7 litres per load.
