It’s Crunch Time – Takealot.com Have The Best Water Saving Products Right Here

If you're looking for some inspiration on how to save water, Takealot's Water Wise store is where you need to start. Also, who wants to win a R500 gift voucher?

Does anyone else hear that rather ominous ‘dun dun dun’ sound every time the words ‘Day Zero’ are mentioned?

This sound, in case you’re not sure what I mean.

The shops are filled with people buying five litre waters by the dozen, anyone with a pool is under 24-hour drone surveillance from water-wise warriors (trust no one), and now is most certainly the time to start making a few practical changes.

If you don’t know where to start then fear not, Takealot.com has you covered.

The online retailers have put together a one-stop Water Wise store, and it has all the goodies you’ll need to prepare yourself for April 16 (that’s the current Day Zero, although it may still shift).

We’re going to be giving away FOUR R500 VOUCHERS for readers to use when shopping at the store, but more on that later.

Here’s what greets you when you pop over to the Water Wise store:

Told you they have every angle covered.

In an effort to encourage everyone to play ball, Takealot are also offering discounts on purchases made on the water wise store.

You can now get R150 off your first Takealot purchase of R350 or more when using the coupon code SAVEWATER at checkout.

Just the one coupon per person, and you’ll need to make your purchase before the end of February

Here’s Julie-Anne Walsh, Chief Marketing Officer at Takealot, with more on why they put the store together:

We want to make it as simple as possible for people to save water and get the kit and storage necessities needed to get through Day Zero and the months that follow. At Takealot, customers can find everything from tanks and taps to water and wipes – and the convenience of home delivery means less lugging of canisters, buckets and other big items from the mall.

Though all our water-saving stock is currently in incredibly high demand, we are working with our suppliers to replenish lines that have sold out as quickly as possible. With fast, reliable delivery to the whole of South Africa, we can hopefully help make preservation efforts simpler and more sustainable in the long-term.

Yup, she’s talking sense.

Remember those four R500 vouchers we mentioned earlier? Of course you do, so here’s how you can go about winning one:

  • Email your most creative water-saving tip to damon@2oceansvibe.com.
  • Say hello to Damon – he’s a person with feelings, just like you and I.
  • A picture of your ingenious invention or tip never hurts, but a written account is also fine.
  • We will announce the winners on Friday, February 9, and winners will receive their digital vouchers via email.

Go on, think outside the box and be rewarded for your efforts. Be a Day Zero Hero, because you’re worth it.

Want some inspiration? Just yesterday our intrepid Senior Business Manager Damon popped past the Newlands Spring, and he managed to catch a picture of this marvellous creation:

Sometimes adversity breeds character, and sometimes it breeds creativity.

Yes, that’s a water drum fused with a wheelie bag. We can only salute your ingenuity.

Put on your thinking caps and let us know how you’re saving those drops of the liquid gold, and you might just end up with a dose of good karma AND a R500 Takealot voucher.

Happy Water Wise shopping, fellow warriors.
