Description
DROP DROP will show you how to do your part, by helping you save water at home.
Ultimately, this can result in a saving on your monthly water bill too!
By entering a reading from the municipality's external water meter (connected to your home), DROP DROP will calculate your projected water usage for the month and provide you with an estimate of your water bill. This information can then be used to optimize your water usage and DROP DROP has a few suggestions that can help you in doing just that.
DROP DROP will also make suggestions on additional water savings in your home, to further reduce water consumption and ultimately lower your water bill.
You can also log reports that you make about water delivery services and get all the numbers and contact details you need to help do your part in water conservation.
DROP DROP will also provide you with useful tips such as "How to Change a Washer on a Leaky Tap", "Test for Water Leaks" and "How to Save Money with Every Flush".
Use the app's Knowledge Base section to access friendly, illustrated resources for learning about water in general and tips on the conservation of this natural resource intrinsically linked to our survival.

3 ★ Great concept, but lacks some essential basic features. I've been keeping logs of my water usage but with the current lack of functionality of the edit readings menu I can not add retrospective readings... Please add this feature.
3 ★ It would be more helpful to be able to input fractions of kL, ie on my water metre I can read xxxx.xxx, but can only input xxxx. Since I'm not using over a kL of water a day (I would hope most people aren't!!!) it would be more helpful to still be able to see my usage per day even if its 0.1kL for example. I have now had to do that on a Google spreadsheet. On an aesthetic note, this app could do with a bit of a redesign, but that's just my opinion.
3 ★ It is only applicable to Cape Town but that was the intention. I would dearly love the ability to add historical data also.
5 ★ Very simple to use. I read our meter daily and this has made us more aware of our consumption. Have a detailed record to reconcile to the Municipal account. Well done on the simplicity
5 ★ Well done Bianca Forlee... And your research development team.
2 ★ Only applicable to Cape Town .
5 ★ The knowledgebase section has some really useful info on simple and practical matters like how to change a washer on a tap :)
4 ★ Helps to become aware of water use..though there's room to improve it to make it more flashy
1 ★ You cannot enter a reading for other dates. I have a month of past readings, but there is no way to enter them. Fairly basic functionality, I would have thought.
4 ★ Savee waterrrr
