Do you have a teenager that is running up your water bill?

Whether you're looking to update or replace something that's not working, choosing the correct showerhead may give you more headaches then you expect! 
One feature that Aussie Plumbing likes are the showerheads with a cut-off valve that allows you to stop the flow of water while shampooing, greatly reducing the amount of water used in every shower.

Hot, Dry Summer??

We might be in for a hot, dry summer. If so, there's a few things you should know about your lawn sprinkler pump.
Lawn sprinkler pumps are used to pump water to lawn sprinkling systems. These pumps can be used to draw water from wells, ponds, lakes, cisterns or tanks. Keep in mind that sprinkler pumps are restricted to a twenty-five foot lift. When selecting a lawn sprinkler pump you will need to know three things; the total length of the sprinkler system's longest pipe run, the pipe diameter and the collective capacity of the sprinkler heads in gallons per minute (gpm). Most manufacturers provide a chart you can plug the information into to size your pump.
