The team at Termimesh are now very proud to bring you Termiturf.

Termimesh was established in Adelaide back in 1992 and has continually provided a high level of service and quality to South Australian homeowners. From our humble beginnings, we have gone from being a simple family business, to a highly recognised and regarded Adelaide company.

Our outstanding customer service levels have been recognised with the Service Centre of the Year award in 2002 and 2003. Added to this we have also received The Outstanding Achievement Award in 1998, 2000 and 2002. But a good team is nothing without exceptional external support, for that reason we are also members of Australia’s leading building groups; the HIA and MBA.

We are also sensitive to the ongoing issues regarding our environment and truly believe that this is but one small step we can help facilitate. Without the ongoing need to water and fertilise, it makes sense to preserve one of our most taken for granted commodities. We encourage you to visit the “Save The Murray” web page at www.savethemurray.com.au as this website includes the Waterwise range of fact sheets, which give you practical tips and ideas for conserving water inside and outside your home, in the workplace and community.

Top 10 Tips

The Australian Government has produced a list of the Top 10 tips for saving water in your home;

1. Buy dishwashers, washing machines and plumbing products that have a high star rating under the Australian Government’s Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme – a five star WELS rated shower head can save an average household more than $100 each year on water and energy bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to one tonne per year.
2. Take shorter showers and install a water efficient shower head – a shower uses 10-20 litres of water every minute.
3. Install a dual flush toilet that can save you 50 per cent of water on each flush.
4. Install aerators on your taps.
5. Consider using grey water from the laundry on the garden.
6. Consider investing in a front loading washing machine – it may cost more initially but will use less water and detergent. Wash with cold water.
7. Install a dripper system and a tap timer and check hoses and taps for leaks.
8. Use mulch to prevent water loss.
9. Choose a drought-resistant lawn or look into alternatives like paving or artificial turf.
10. Consider installing a rain water tank.
