Water Saving FAQs

Many people have water tanks at home, but it’s surprising how few people have pumps to match! While gravity provides some pressure, a water pump really enables you to use your tank water anywhere around the garden. Installing a pump isn’t that hard either – Neco’s electricians and plumbers can sort you out with a quality pump that will liberate your tank water! And while you’re at it, you can also use your tank water for your laundry and toilet flushing, saving you even more on water bills.

Grey water is fantastic in times of drought. It can also be a great solution if you don’t have a water tank to take care of your garden. However, there are a few things to be mindful of. First poorly installed grey water systems can be a nightmare in terms of flooding – we’ve heard many stories of backyard systems blocking and emptying themselves in laundries! Second, grey water isn’t good for every type of plant, so be careful which detergent you use. And third, proper grey water systems do require regular maintenance to ensure lint and other bits of the wash don’t clog them. Having said all that, however, grey water systems are a great way to save even more water, and Neco’s plumber can certainly help you to install a grey water system.
