if i am right it works out about £7 I could be well out on that though, I went to my water compnaies site and found out the cost of water per litre and wastage and i swear thats the answer i came too. I will have another look later today and post it back.

You need to make your water company aware of the way you use the water and don't return it all back down the drain as you will get a rebate based on the fact you draw the water out the tap and pour it onto the ground.

Give them a call, you will be surprised, water rates are based on how much you use and then they have to re-cycle and purify the water, hence a charge.

I had a look on Welsh Water's site, and it said 1000 liters was something like £1.12. This seems very low! Don't know if that includes sewerage....

I'm dreading my first bill with the WFP... have filtered something like 4000 liters this week!!  :o :-\ :-\

I was interested in your comments Trevor because I'm on a meter and I don't want to have to pay more than I should for my water. However, I was told by one of the supplyers of WFP equipment when I was investigating the cost of it all, that if I speak to my water company I would likely open a can of worms I would regret opening as it could end up costing me more.

What's all this about, Do you know? I thought it a bit off, paying for a sewerage service I'm not using.

So the £7 a day was near enough bang on the money cause of wastage  ::)
