Water is wasted waiting for the shower or sink to warm up, on the slow leak you have in the toilet bowl that you never knew about and from sprinkling your lawn every day.
With some of the newer developments surrounding water usage throughout the world, it may be a good time to really think about how you can cut down on the water you waste. There are a whole bunch of things you can do, but let’s start with some basic first steps that make a big impact.
1. Take Shorter Showers
Reduce your shower time and try to avoid baths when you can. Most baths use 35-50 gallons of water, but showers can use only about 25, especially if you have a low-flow shower head. If you don’t have one, consider investing in one. Especially if you’re renting, a new head is a great way to revamp your whole shower routine. Even the kids may enjoy it.
2. Stop Pre-Rinsing Dishes
Unless something is seriously burnt on, try really hard not to prerinse. It is an enormous waste of water, and most dishwashers are powerful enough that there’s no need to. Also, try to use the dishwasher when you can. It actually uses less water per dish than hand-washing does, which means it’s good for the environment, and you.
3. Check for Leaks in the Pipes
Don’t forget to check the outdoor faucets and pipes too. Hopefully you’ll notice if you’ve sprung a leak somewhere inside, but it can be easy to miss an outside one. Keep an eye on them, and do a check at least every six months. Also, keep an eye on your water bill. If you notice that it’s gone up, you might be leaking somewhere.
4. Only Run Full Loads of Laundry or Dishes
I know, there are only so many items you have that get washed on the delicate cycle. However, you can still fill it up – just add in some stuff that can take a rougher washing, but isn’t too dirty. Making sure you have a full load each time means chores go faster, detergent gets used more effectively and you’ll never run out of clean underwear again.
5. Check your Toilet for Leaks
Add some food coloring to the tank before you go to bed. When you use it in the morning, see if any of the colored water has leaked into the bowl. If so, it’s a hidden leak that should be fixed.
