Howe Water Conservation
Bathroom Instructions
Here are some guidelines that help reduce water consumption in the bathroom:
Installing water-saving toilets: Make sure to install modern toilets that help save water consumption, which uses only 1.6 gallons of water per use.
Periodic inspection of the bathroom: Regularly check for leaks in toilets or pipes in the bathroom. Any leakage leads to the loss of a large amount of water.
Reduce water consumption in old toilets: If you have an old toilet, you can reduce its water consumption by placing a plastic bottle filled with water inside the toilet tank, or installing a barrier that divides the tank into two parts so that it is not completely filled.
Do not use the toilet as a trash can: By avoiding throwing anything in the toilet, which leads to clogged pipes and increases water consumption due to the need to pump more water to clean the pipes. By following these guidelines, you can help reduce water consumption in your home and thus save the environment and save costs.
Faucet Instructions
Here are some guidelines to reduce water consumption via faucets and showers:
Quick showers: by reducing the duration of showers and using showers instead of long showers. This can save you about 20 gallons (76 liters) of water.
Installation of a water-saving shower head: reducing water consumption in the home by up to 40%.
Installation of air mixers on taps: to contribute to reducing water flow without affecting the strength of water flow.
Close the tap when using a toothbrush or shave: what can save about 19 liters per day.
Wash vegetables in a bowl instead of running water: You can then reuse the water to irrigate the plants or for cleaning purposes.
Wash dishes manually: to control the amount of water used.
