As the cost of living crisis continues, more and more Britons are looking for nifty ways to save money on their energy bills.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Daniel Khanlarpour, who has been a gas engineer for 16 years, has shared a simple tip for saving water which could save you money on your water bills.<\/p>\n

Mr Khanlarpour, also known as Gas Guru, is a member of Checkatrade, the home of quality trades to get your essential jobs done when you need to book something.<\/p>\n

The expert shared how Britons can save cash just by changing how they flush their toilets.<\/p>\n

Most modern toilets now have a “dual flush option” which gives users the option of either a full flush or a half flush.<\/p>\n

The options allow Britons to choose the flush that’s most appropriate for them allowing them to use half the amount of water in some cases.<\/p>\n

A full flush can use six to nine litres of water per flush while smaller flushes or a “half flush” can use three to four litres.<\/p>\n

Using the correct flush could save Britons between 50 and 60 percent of their water for each flush.<\/p>\n

Mr Khanlarpour told The Sun: “If the toilet has a dual flush, make sure you’re using the smaller flush for liquids and the larger flush for everything else.”<\/p>\n

Some experts claim that just by using the correct flush, Britons could save around \u00a3100 a year.<\/p>\n

It’s important to check the dual flush system isn’t leaking water into the bowl as this could end up costing you more money.<\/p>\n
