Anyone who enjoys gardening or maintains a garden knows how easy it is for water to be wasted, and that’s water that can be precious and hard to come by in our sun-bleached land. Grey water recycling systems can be a solution here. Another is capturing rainwater.
Apart from capturing rainwater, there are many things we can do to conserve water such as setting timers on sprinkler systems, not leaving taps running while brushing teeth, washing cars using buckets instead of hoses, and sweeping paths instead of hosing them.
If you grow your own fruit or veges, you would need to be aware of another issue – chlorine. While safe to consume at normal levels from the water authorities, it’s not exactly a great tasting substance and is readily absorbed by plants and other organic material. Watering your vege patch with municipal water means adding chlorine to your veges while also potentially killing off beneficial organisms living in the soil. In the case of edible gardens, using filtered water or collected rainwater for irrigation is recommended by many organic gardeners for better tasting and healthier produce.
Similarly, when it comes to water for washing or cooking vegetables, a home water filtration system is a cost-effective solution for chlorine-free water available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week at your tap.
