If its yellow, let it mellow Flushed toilets account for about one-third of the water used by a typical family, said Tompkins. Look at how youre flushing the toilet, added Tompkins. For example, do you really need to flush it every time you put a tissue into it? A dual flush toilet – where you can choose the amount of water that will be used with each flush – could be worth investing in. Dual flush toilets typically use between four and six litres of water a flush – compared to the 13 litres used in an old-style flush system, according to Waterwise. A cistern displacement device, which takes up space that would otherwise be occupied by water, could also be worth installing in your toilet cistern. The device, which reduces the amount of water that is available for flushing, can save up to 5,000 litres of water a year, according to some experts.
