watersmart Tips for at Home Water Conservation Washing Machine Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running the machine to save both water and energy.

26 watersmart Tips for at Home Water Conservation Washing Machine Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running the machine to save both water and energy. By running full loads in the washing machine, the average family can save up to 700 gallons of water per month, reducing water bills. Make sure to adjust the water level for each load. A front-load washing machine uses 1/3 less water than a top-load machine. Remember to set up an appliance maintenance check-up every 3-4 years to ensure the performance efficiency of your washing machine. When in the market for a new washing machine, be sure to research highefficiency models. These machines use an average of 30% less water and 50% less energy - and get your clothes cleaner! Toilets More water is used to flush the toilet than for any other purpose in the home! Never use your toilet as a wastebasket! Check toilets for leaks at least twice a year when you reset your clocks. To check for leaks place a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Wait 10 minutes without flushing and check the bowl. If color appears in the bowl, you have a leak. Installing a water-efficient, 1.28 gallons-per-flush High Efficiency toilet will lower the cost of water and sewer bills significantly. Remember, not all toilet leaks are noisy, some are silent. A leaking toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day. Most toilet leaks are the result of a damaged flapper and can be easily repaired with a new, inexpensive flapper. When purchasing a new toilet, look for a WaterSense Labeled High Efficiency Toilet and save 20% more water over a standard low-flow toilet.

Kitchen Faucet and Dishwasher Washing the dishes accounts for most of the water usage in the kitchen. Operate automatic dishwashers only when fully loaded to save on hot water, detergent and energy costs. By using the short cycle on your dishwasher instead of the full cycle, you can save 5 gallons of water per load. Adjust your freezer to reflect the current climate conditions in order to control ice produced by the ice maker. Remember when washing your dishes to limit the amount of hot water usage. Check to see if your dishwasher can clean dishes without pre-rinsing them. Most current model dishwashers don t require pre-rinsing. If you need to hand-wash dishes, do not leave the tap running while you scrub. Showers and Tubs Dripping showerheads can waste hundreds of gallons of water a week, depending on the size of the drip. Take short showers instead of baths to use less water. Reducing your shower time by just one minute can save two to six gallons of water. Check your showerhead for drips or leaks and replace washers. Worn out washers are the main cause of leaks. The typical showerhead allows a water flow of five gallons per minute. Installing a low-flow showerhead will reduce this flow by 50%. When taking a bath, fill the bath tub half way and save 15 gallons of water. Bathroom Faucets Bathroom faucets use two to seven gallons of water per minute. Always turn off the water while brushing your teeth and washing your hands. Install a low-flow faucet aerator with a flow restrictor to reduce the flow by 25%. Remember to clean the aerator routinely to remove any obstructing particles collected in the screen. Fix leaks immediately: a small drip can result in up to 15 gallons of water a day or 105 gallons a week in wasted water, which adds up to more than 5,000 gallons of wasted water a year!
