Create a water-efficient home with ACE Hardware and SM

Water security is a very simple concept – it’s making sure we and generations to come have enough clean water to last a lifetime.

Reusing water for cleaning or gardening and turning off the faucet when not in use are great, active ways to reduce water usage at home. Another solution? Turn your home into a more water-efficient one!

Sounds complicated? Not really! In fact, it’s so easy to do, you can do it yourself with the help of SM and ACE Hardware! Check out this rundown of the best tools and devices you need to make sure your house is a water-saving one:

1. Hose Nozzles

Are you a plantita or plantito using a garden hose to water your greens? Consider adding a shut-off valve at the nozzle end to give you more precision and minimize water wasted when moving across sections of your garden.

Water efficiency has always been at the forefront of SM group’s advocacies under the SM Green Movement. Aside from fulfilling customers’ needs for a more water-efficient home, SM properties have been recycling water since the 1990s resulting to an average of 4 million cubic meters of water saved annually. SM Supermalls conducts regular maintenance of its fixtures and encourages customers to do the same in their homes to minimize water consumption.

“Water conservation is a helpful way to ensure the entire country is water-secure and has an adequate water supply,” said Engr. Liza B. Silerio, SM Cares Program Director for the Environment and SM Supermalls Vice President for Corporate Compliance. “We highly encourage everyone to #SaveWaterWithSM and implement these small changes, because even the smallest habit can have the biggest impact in making water resources available to future generations.”
