Ideas for Your Bathrooms with Water Saving Tips

[linda]

There are many ways to save water but why can’t we start from our bathroom. I have found some of the best water saving tips, just check these out -
1. When possible attempt to cut you're showers, or singing sessions, by just a few minutes. You can save up to 150 gallons of water every month by just cutting your shower short by just 2 to 3 minutes, not to mention the much deserved break shorter showers will provide your water heater.

2. Consider replacing your old shower heads for newer water saving shower heads. If your current shower heads are 9 years old or even older, they can have flow rates as high as 5 to 7 gallons per minute. Low flow shower heads have reduced flow rates of 2.5 gallons per minute or lower, while providing the same or even improved water pressure. And water saver shower heads are very inexpensive and easy to install.

3. For even more savings potential, the best shower heads maybe models with shut off valves. There just as inexpensive in most cases and you save warm water while you're shampooing, conditioning and lathering. Low flow shower heads with shut off valves can be more effective at reducing hot water use and when the switch is turned on again (after shampooing and conditioning) the water remains at the exact same desired temperature as before.

4. Don't ever take your bathroom toilets for granted. Remember each flush can use anywhere from 1.6 gallons to 5 gallons of water. So don't use your toilets as bathroom trash cans. Besides excess tissue and paper waste can easily result in the ever annoying clogged toilet.

5. Ever so often check all of your toilet tanks for possible leaks. Even the smallest leaks can have a huge effect on your water bills. A toilet tank leak test is easy to do, quick and very accurate. Your local hardware store and big box home improvement retailers have toilet tank leak test packs. These packs cost just a few dollars each.
