Easy ways to save water

Posted by admin on May 14, 2009

With much of the US in drought situations and trying to conserve water I wanted to give some easy ways you can save water…which you can/should be doing regardless of if your area is in drought situation or not.

Some of these may seem like common sense things that you’ve been told before, but do you really apply them???

Shut off the water while brushing your teeth.

Use a water conserving shower head.
You can choose from few different ones here along with faucet Aerators, toilet tank water conserving kits and other water conserving products.

Do laundry when it’s a full load (and no you really do not have to wash your clothes after you’ve worn them just once, or used the towel just once)

Run the dishwasher when it’s full (and yes, it’s greener to use the dishwasher than to hand wash when full load)

Collect rain water for your garden, flowers, etc. in buckets

Use an adjustable water head nozzle on your hoses.

Get a rain barrel to collect water in.
