Did you know a daily shower can use up to 30 litres of water per minute? Over the course of a month, that adds up to more than 3,000 litres per person. Now imagine a family of four. The impact is huge.
But don’t worry, it’s entirely possible to save water in the shower without giving up the comfort you enjoy.
In this article, we’ll show you how to cut down on water use without losing quality or convenience, and how to do it practically with solutions like Tapp Water shower filters.
Saving Water in the Shower: Practical Tips and Smart Solutions
If you're wondering how to make your showers more efficient, start with these simple habits:
1. Shorten your shower time
It may sound obvious, but it works. Set a 5-minute timer or play just one song to help you keep track.
2. Turn off the tap while soaping up
Letting the water run while you're not using it is one of the most common mistakes.
3. Install low-flow shower heads
These limit water usage without reducing pressure. A great option if you don’t want to change your routine.
4. Use an efficient shower filter
As well as improving water quality, some filters help maintain consistent pressure, preventing waste from leaks or limescale build-up.
These small changes might seem insignificant, but together they make a big difference to your household’s monthly water consumption.
How Much Water is Wasted in the Shower?
A standard shower can use between 12 and 20 litres per minute. That means a 10-minute shower can use between 120 and 200 litres of water each time. And if you’re using hot water, energy usage goes up too.
Even more worrying is that much of this water is unnecessarily wasted due to:
- Waiting for the water to heat up
- Poor pressure caused by limescale build-up
- Leaks from the shower head or hose
That’s why every detail counts when it comes to achieving real, long-term water savings.
How Much Water Can You Save With a Shower Filter?
Although shower filters are primarily used to improve water quality, a good one can also help optimise water flow and reduce waste.

- Preventing limescale blockages
- Maintaining steady pressure
- Reducing the need for longer showers to feel clean
