Low Cost Ways to Conserve Water at Home.

By Chrisjob

Save money and save the planet with these tips from YahooGreen:

Reduce water use from showers and faucets

  • No cost: Limit shower time to 5 minutes or less.
  • Less than $10: Install an on/off valve between the shower arm and showerhead.
  • $10-$50: Install a low-flow (less than 2 gallons per minute) showerhead. 
  • $20-$50: Insulate all accessible hot-water pipes, especially those within 3 feet of the water heater. 

Toilets are the enemy

  • Check for leaks
  • Displace water

Minimize appliance water consumption

  • Load dish washers and washing machines to the fullest
  • The dishwasher is your friend
  • Scrape, don't rinse
  • Pass on permanent press
  • Upgrade your equipment
