Saving Water in the Bathroom
- Fix your Leaks – Known or unknown leaks in taps, pipes, and toilets can result in up to 11,000 Liters of water being wasted. You should always check all your bath fittings for any leakage and get the leaks repaired as soon as possible. This will not only save wastage of water but will also avoid any damage to your walls and fittings.
- Turn Off the Tap While Brushing your Teeth or Shaving – An average tap or faucet throws approximately 10 liters of water every minute. So don’t leave the tap open while brushing or shaving. Turn off the faucet after you wet your brush, and turn it on when it’s time to rinse.
- Turn Off the Tap While Washing your Hands– Do not leave the tap running while you’re scrubbing your hands. Wet your hands and turn off the tap, turn on the tap when you need to rinse.
- Flush with Less – Older flush use 3 to 4 times more water as compared to the new ones. Convert your old flush toilet to a dual-flush toilet. A dual-flush toilet allows you to use less water to flush liquid waste and more water to flush solid waste simply by pressing the correct button.
- Install a Tap/Faucet Aerator – Adding an aerator to your tap/faucet will add air to the flow of water, giving you a more consistent stream while also using less water overall. Tap/Faucet aerators are very easy to install, inexpensive and highly effective. Taps/faucets with aerators can save up to 80% of water as compared to the tap/faucets without aerators. Aerators should also be used in taps/faucets in bathrooms.
