Household gadget ‘everyone should have’ could save you money off crucial household bill

It could save users around £40 on household bills.

One little gadget in your house could save you a tonne on your bills.

We already heard from money expert Martin Lewis advising that homeowners should switch over to air fryers to reduce their energy bills, or energy suppliers urging people to install smart meters to track usage.

But now, we move into another room of the house, the bathroom, whereby the type of showerhead you're using could be doing more damage than good.

TV presenter of Fake Britain and journalist, Dom Littlewood, shared a handy tip that aerated or regulated shower heads use water more efficiently than conventional types.

It works in that a normal shower head has a flow rate of 15 litres per minute, whereas these alternative gadgets reduce the water flow rate to seven or eight litres per minute.

The 59-year-old money-saving expert said: 'Installing an energy-efficient shower head is actually a really neat way of improving efficiency as it reduces the amount of water used in the shower by aerating it.'

Buying one of these showerheads will cost you around £15 from a hardware store, but you be looking at saving £40 on your energy bills, Littlewood claims.

However, it gets better as some Brits might be able to claim one of these types of shower heads for free.

By going on a website like savemoneysavewater.co.uk, users can browse through the freebies available from water companies around the country, including aerated shower heads.

There will be a short survey on the website that users will have to fill in, answering questions like how many people live in your home, and how often you take showers a week as a household.

After completing the survey, users are redirected to their water supplier's website to claim the freebie, if there is one.

Littlewood is also a supporter of the 2024 'It All Adds Up'

new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero campaign. The campaign aims to help Brits save money where they can through small changes in their homes.

He explained: 'It’s to try and help people who are worried or perhaps feeling the pinch during these turbulent times around the world, just to give some general practical advice on small things they could do.

'Quite simple, either no cost or very small cost changes that you can make around the home just to try and save a few pounds each year. And as the title suggests, all these little changes add up.'
