Water

We have our own well. The well water is filtered and tested yearly. We use water very sparingly and recycle water where practical, for example used dishwater is also utilized to washout recyclables (bottles, jars, milk cartons etc.) or to water garden plants. During the summer we will use harvest water to irrigate the outdoor crops and plants. We have a seep hose installed in our polytunnel, which saves on water, as it is directed to the root. We are careful to water in the evening, so there is less water evaporation.

Our toilets are low flush model, dual-flush toilet. Showers are fitted with aerating shower heads / flow reducing shower heads.

We also have an A+++ highly efficient Samsung Ecobubble 7kg direct drive washing mashing which as a technology which also requires less water consumption.
