# M’sian Shares How Turning Off One Switch Saved Her RM100 On Her Electric Bill, Here’s How

##### Struggling with high electricity bills? One Malaysian woman may have found a surprisingly simple trick — and it’s going viral online.

A woman named Ailin Suhaini recently took to Threads to share how she managed to slash RM100 off her electricity bill in just one month.

## Unplugging water filter every night

Her method? She unplugs her water filter every night before bed.

> **I started switching off the water filter at 11pm and only turning it back on at 12pm the next day,” she wrote. **

***“The following month, my electricity bill dropped by RM100 — I was shocked!”***

## Netizens' reaction

Ailin's effortless “lazy girl energy-saving hack” quickly caught the attention of netizens, sparking discussions and more energy-saving tips from others online.

***"Same here. This month I started turning off the water filter at night and turning it back on at 9am. I also switch off the TV plug and set the aircond timer from 8pm to 5am. My bill usually comes to RM250, but today it’s only RM90 — and there are still 4 more days before the final bill. I’m so happy because I managed to save!"***

***"Some say to unplug the device — meaning if you’re not using the switch or plug, just remove it from the socket."***

***"They said to unplug everything, so I’ve been unplugging stuff all over the place — and yeah, the bill is a bit lower than before. At night I usually keep the lights off, just the aircond and fan on. But I haven’t tried unplugging the water filter at night yet. Might give it a try tonight."***
