The cost of water is predicted to rise in most states around Australia so the less water you use the more money you can save. In addition, the Federal Government and many State Governments offer rebates and incentives on environmentally friendly products such as shower heads, solar hot water systems and heat pumps. The rebates are constantly changing, so be sure to visit the sustainability section of the Reece website to see what applies to you.
