Water Rates

[chellie]

How do you find out how much you spend on water?

From your water bill.

Do power showers use a lot of water?
Reading your posts our households seem very similar I just only have normal showers and our usage is a lot lower

I think its 5x the rate, my wife and kids also put it in over power, regardless of me telling them not to. To be fair the showers are awesome.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen one!!!!

We have stainless steel pans, I still wash them in the sink. Crazy inefficient to run a dishwasher for them.

@pauljames87 , you've been on the sauce

See I've just taken delivery of some "hexclad" frying pans and a wok (Gordon Ramsey brand)

Few of the lads at work rave about them.

Metal utensils safe, oven safe, non stick... But for me the most important of all.. dishwasher safe!

Just done the family a cooked breakfast and the bacon / egg pan no longer needs hand washing ..

Hurray

in my previous flat water was part of the service charge and we weren't metered. Could that be your case? Or similar?

Yes and no, that wok came in the set

I got the 3 frying pans and the wok, including 3 lids , after the sale price and 5% off first order it was £360 for the 4 pans

Life time warranty is helpful

We had a stainless still pan but found it effort , then non stick pans couldn't go in the dishwasher

So after watching these for a while I treated myself for my bday

What is the unit measurement of a water meter and the cost per unit?

Bet the company still try and wiggle out of it by claiming you used the wrong utensils, wrong heat, etc

100% lol but the fact you can use metal utensils on it make it worthwhile when the Mrs doesn't listen to the advise they give

They have the nerve to try and put prices up to pay for investments when they been taking the profit out for decades aswell

Double holy moly PyjamaMan , I just re-read that statement and realized that's only 6 months, I thought it was annual!


edit: is your '87' the cubic meters of water you use every 6 months

For a bit of context tho, it's a family of 5, so 1 bath a day plus 2 showers

Then roughly 40 dishwashers a month

55 loads of washing a month

So it works out £52 a month ATM by direct debit , others will pay a lot less

yeah I'm not trying to compare diff countries but... just checked the rate card here, never had cause to do it before, and your usage would be £30.86 (for the 6 months)
but i guess that's one of the costs you have being in a 1st world country over a developing country, bloomin scary though

You would think by now the UK would have got out of developing country status
