Since the month of April is water conservation month it is time to consider the following tips to help conserve water in your home.
Repair Leaky Fixtures – One drop of water per second from a leaky faucet can waste as much as 10 gallons of water each week.
Install Low-Flow Showerheads, Faucets & Toilets – Low-flow faucets reduce water consumption and the cost of heating water by as much as 50%; using a low-flow toilet can save Americans 2.1 trillion gallons of water every day.
Turn The Water Off – Don’t allow the water to run when brushing your teeth. This can waste 2-3 gallons of water per brushing! Instead, wet your toothbrush, brush your teeth, and then turn the water on again to rinse.
Another great way to save money is to buy products that are consentrated. That way, your not having to buy water with your products (eg glass cleaners, laundrey detergent, etc). There is a great company that is all natural, uses consentrate on almost all their products, they are cheaper than purchasing at your local store, more effective, and they even have the bonus of you receiving a commissions check if you refer anyone, at no extra cost. I love these products and have converted my household to this company where it was possible. http://www.healthtrackerpro.com

By regularly maintaining appliances at home that use water such as washing machines, we can significantly cut back water consumption. If you are not going to use your washer for a long time, you should turn off the water source and unplug the water valves. You won’t have to worry about a leaky washer. You will also reduce pressure in the water valves. Also consider buying an efficient front load washer. This washing machine consumes less water than top loaders. In comparison to top loaders, it can consume up to 80% less water.
I admire what you have done here. It is good to see your clarity on this important subject can be easily observed. Tremendous post and will look forward to your future update.
well how about making it water conservation year and pick up one of those waterless washing machines made by xerox (saw an ariticle in the guardian and was impressed). they are not ttoally waterless but 90% less than normal washers – good on the enviroment as well as that water bill – two birds with one stone 😉
I saw something about that topic on TV last night. Great post.
This is exactly what i was looking for. thank you so much for the interesting blog post and keep up the fantastic work! With regards, Laurena.
