Ways to Save Water & Money

Hey Everyone!  There are so many ways to save money by saving on your water usage.  There are simple ways where you don't have to necessarily do anything different, but then there are also ways where you have to adjust your consumption to save on water, which I will begin with those first.

Save Water & Money by Reducing Consumption of:
   -Shower Time
   -Laundry Load/Frequency
   -Shaving/Washing Hand Time; Turn off faucet during shaving when not in use (or use a cup)
   -Washing Dishes - Use less Water by filling a bucket w/ hot water; Limit usage of washer/Dryer
   -Flush Less - You know how the saying goes "Yellow let it mellow, Brown Flush it Down"

Save Water & Money by Installing these (very cheap as well!)
   -The Toilet Tank Bank

The Toilet Tank Bank helps reduce the gallons per flush by around 0.8 gallons.  You can see/purchase one here if you desire: Toilet Tank Bank 









   -Kitchen Sink Aerator
With this Aerator, it lowers the maximum gallon/minute flow rate to 1.5 and it helps to make washing the dishes more efficient.  You can purchase this by going here: Kitchen Aerator




Now these aren't, by far, the only things that you can do to reduce water usage.  As a starter, these help tremendously and I have implemented all of these in our household.  You can easily tell the different when your water bill comes and the gallons and cost are significantly reduced.  Thank you for reading and enjoy : )  Any other tips to reduce water usage? Please post below!
