The Most Effective Water Conservation Tips

Water conservation has become more and more of an issue in recent years.

Not only does it help save money, making a few changes to conserve

water can benefit our planet tremendously.

In addition to saving water, conservation also helps save energy.

Less water used means that less energy is required to pump all of that

water to homes. With a little knowledge and a few pointed water

conservation tips, you can begin saving water and money on your bill.

One of the places where most water is wasted is the bathroom. Start by

addressing leaky faucets and pipes. Putting this chore off can cost an extra

750 to 1,500 gallons of water per month.

You can also save 3 gallons a day just by turning off the water flow as you

brush your teeth. When you wash your hands, use less liquid soap. So instead of a full pump, use half a pump. You’ll still get plenty of soap but wash time

will be considerably shorter.

Consider installing an ultra-low flush toilet, which uses only a gallon and a half of water as opposed to regular toilets that can use up to 7.5 gallons per flush. If switching toilets isn’t an option, you can still conserve water

during every flush by recycling a plastic bottle.

Wash the bottle out and fill it with water to weigh it down. Place this

inside the toilet’s tank. This reduces the volume of water required to fill the

tank and saves water every time you flush.

You can save nearly 700 gallons of water per month simply by shortening your shower by one or two minutes. Also, while you wait for your shower water to heat up, you can collect cold

water in a bucket to use later for watering plants. This saves between

200 and 300 gallons.

One move that conserves up to 800 gallons of water involves installing a

flow restrictor to the showerheads in each bathroom. These water savers

allow you to switch water flow down to a drizzle while you lather up or

shave.

In the kitchen you can cut the water off as you while you soap up dishes.

Then use a spray device to rinse. Better yet, fill one side of the sink with soapy water and the other with rinsing water. This solution conserves nearly

500 gallons of water every month. Also avoid using too much detergent, which can add an extra 50 to 150 gallons of

water to your bill each month.

These water conservation tips are those that will save the most water.

Just a few conscious efforts and minor changes to your kitchen and bathroom

can help protect the Earth and save you money.
