Help save water

If its true that water will be the most important resource loss in the next decade, why not learn now on how to conserve. It's a precious resource that we can conserve for future generations. And there's not better place to start than in our home's.  With just some simple steps everyone can help.

First check your home for any leaky faucets, and leaky toilets. Save money and try to fix them your self, if not have a professional look at them.

If you are able to replace your older toilet, there are now low flush models on the market.

Using aerators in all your faucets will help also. For your shower head, replace it with a low flow version.




 
 









You may also consider a instant water heater installed next to your kitchen sink. This helps with less wasted water for the hot.

For your lawn thing about installing a drip irrigation system.


   












Don't waste water when brushing your teeth, or shaving. Turn the water off until you are ready to rinse.

Taking a shower over a bath also helps save. Lather up, turn off the water, and when done washing rinse off. Limiting your shower to five minutes helps save even more.

For dishes and laundry, fill up the loads and adjust water temps and load water levels.

Hand washing dishes, fill a dishpan, lather up and wash, then rinse.

Water your lawn in the morning or evening will help, less water will be lost due to evaporation.

Hope you grab some tips from here. If you have one let me know.
