10 tips to save water at home as drought puts Spain on red alert

Water restrictions loom large in Spain due to a lack of rain and scorching temperatures

These are the 10 simple changes you can make today to reduce water consumption:

1. Check your home: The first thing that should be done is to check the facilities in your house to make sure everything is in perfect working condition. Even a small leak in a pipe or a drippy faucet can result in a big waste of water, and money, over time.
2. Take a shower instead of a bath: A quick daily shower uses just 80 litres of water, compared to a bath, which consumes an enormous 150 litres on average.
3. Save while you brush: Leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth or soaping up in the shower can reduce the average household water consumption from 40 litres to just three.
4. Reduce waste: Most of us fill kettles and pots to the top when using the kitchen, with the excess going down the drain. Boiling only the amount of water we need will not only help us conserve, but also reduce the electricity bill.
5. Save excess water: Use a container to collect excess water from the shower, or wash the dishes in a basin so the water can be saved for later use. This left-over water is ideal for hydrating the garden at the height of the summer.
6. Filter your water: Simply using a filter at home for tap water greatly reduces the overexploitation of aquifers, the use of energy and the generation of waste.
7. Use efficient appliances: Washing machines and dishwashers with an energy rating of A+ or higher guarantee a reduction in electricity and water consumption.
8. Economise with your toilets: Most public bathrooms in Spain employ a dual flush system, but these can also be installed in the home. These cisterns mean we can use just the right amount of water needed each time we visit the toilet.
9. Regulate your taps: installing a flow regulator on your faucets could halve the amount of water coming out of the tap, making savings much easier.
10. Install a water deposit tank: A 1,000 litre, domestic water deposit with a pump on your property will guarantee a full supply all year round. Choose Camposol Heating & Maintenance to ensure you will never be without water or suffer low water pressure.

Camposol Heating & Maintenance S.L. (CHM) are specialists in installations of Central Heating (oil and gas), Air Conditioning, Gas, and Electric Water Heaters, back up water tanks, and general plumbing.

 

Based on Camposol Sector C, CHM have been trading in Murcia for over 18 years, serving satisfied customers with the new central heating and air conditioning systems.

 

CHM is a legally registered company, meaning they can formally and legitimately install gas, oil and refrigerant installations in your home in Spain, helping you to avoid any problems with cowboy plumbers and unregistered workers.

 

Although they are based in Camposol, they cover a 35km radius of the Region of Murcia, meaning they can service heaters and boilers across the whole south of Murcia, from Lorca and Mazarrón to Cartagena and the Mar Menor, and they have hundreds of satisfied, regular customers in this area.

 

They have mobile employees on call, ready to help who can offer a robust out-of-hours backup and maintenance service.

 

What’s more, CHM only work with legal, quality suppliers and major established manufacturers such as Baxi and Junkers, because of their commitment to guaranteeing a high level of aftersales support for customers.

 

What services to do they offer?

 

1. Gas Central Heating
   CHM installs gas central heating with UK-style, thermostat-controlled convection radiators for maximum efficiency. These panel radiators, which have copper pipework, are not sectional, making them less likely to leak in the future.
2. Gas Water Heating
   Save hundreds of euros a year on your electricity bills with CHM by switching to gas water heating! With the alarming increase in the cost of electricity in Spain, it make sense to get instant savings with an easy-to-install, gas-based water heating system.
3. Oil Central Heating
   They can also provide you with the same kind of UK-style convection radiators but using oil-fired central heating so you can “pay as you go”, and only pay for the hot water and heating you use. All their oil tanks – Baxi Roca, combination boilers – are double skinned, so even if there is a leak in the internal tank, it is held by the second skin. We install.
4. Backup Water Tanks
   Ensure you never run out of water by installing a fully pumped water deposit system in your home – just choose the size and type that suits your needs!
5. Air Conditioning
   Get domestic and commercial air conditioning with inverter technology to cool, heat and even dehumidify your property. All the air conditioning units provided by CHM come with a two-year warranty and a backup service from manufacturer Baxi.
6. Leak Detection and Repair
   Contact CHM to pinpoint the source of water leaks quickly and securely, whether inside or out, and get it repaired in the shortest time possible.

 

…and much more!
