Standing room only<\/strong><\/p>\n We all know it\u2019s better to shower rather than bathe when it comes to reducing the amount of water we use. If you can carry out your ablutions during a five-minute shower then you could save money on both your water and energy bills. Having said that, if you prefer to take a leisurely shower, whilst murdering the latest hit, then you could be using as much water as you would filling your bath.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ways to curb your water usage in the shower include using a water-efficient showerhead with high flow rate mixer showers and power showers. Apparently the clever technology inside these showerheads makes the water flow feel far higher than it actually is. Unfortunately they\u2019re not suitable to use with electric showers, but that does give you the perfect excuse to upgrade your shower.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bathe like you mean it<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, so we know that quick showers are better for saving water, but sometimes nothing beats a good old soak to ease the stresses of the day. The obvious solution is to opt for a reduced-capacity bath the next time you upgrade your tub. However, if you\u2019ve already splashed out on a beautiful contemporary design, appease the guilt by bathing with your significant other.<\/p>\n
