A: Changing your lifestyle is the simplest part of the solution to water conservation. Your next step is to update or replace your home’s three huge water customers.
The three areas to address are your faucets, showers, and toilets. The proper news is, in most cases, the development costs may be lower than you think.
First, with faucets, you may exchange the aerators at the spouts to around 1 gallon in line with the minute (GPM). Second, showers are some other smooth improvement. Look for showerheads that use about two GPM. Third, switch to a high-performance bathroom that uses much less than 1 — three gallons in keeping with a flush. Saving water may be as easy as one, two, or three.
