Water Saving Suggestions

Water Saving Suggestions

1. Upgrade to a new modern, water saving showerhead

Water saving showerheads have come a long way. Gone are the days of having to choose between a small selection of plastic, lackluster water-saving showerheads. Modern water-saving showerheads have made strides to become more stylish, sleek and suitable for any bathroom style. That means it’s easier than ever to find a water-saving showerhead that harmonizes with your current décor and your monthly water bill.

When browsing for new showerheads, keep an eye out for low gallons per minute (GPM) rates (2.0 GPM or less is ideal for water-saving), which will help you use less water while still getting a satisfying shower. Some showerheads have adjustable flow rates, so you can save the higher flow for when you need it—like rinsing shampoo. Others even have a pause feature, which allows you to reduce the flow while you suds up or shave. Ready for a new water-saving showerhead? |  Shop FREE showerheads from Western

2. Add to your bucket list

Ok, it’s not really a list, but using a bucket can save you water! While it can be frustrating to wait for the water to warm up, a simple water bucket can make that interlude worth it by capturing the running water for later use.

The cold water you collect in your bucket can then be used around the house, especially watering plants. Remember, life’s too short to waste a good bucket list (or water). 

3. Install subtle faucet aerators

Faucet aerators maximize your water flow, just like a water-efficient showerhead, so that less water goes down the drain. They do it by adding air which increases the force of the flow without using more water. Since faucet aerators come in a variety of finishes, you can find one that blends right in with your sink setup. Click below to grab some stylish (and free!) water-saving faucet aerators.
