Tips to Help You Save Water in Bathroom

Over the last decade, #SaveWater has been a constant trend. And we all know why.

While the Government is doing their bit, it isn’t enough. We, the people, must take the right actions, do our bit and help save water. Even if we end up saving a litre of water every day, it would create a positive impact compared to if you choose to ignore the need.

Don’t worry, we are not asking you to launch Facebook campaigns, raise funds to clean water bodies (you can if you want to), etc., even little things such as following the below-shared tips to save water in your bathroom can mean a huge difference. Take a look and make water conservation a habit.

Don’t brush your teeth with the tap open:

Maybe unintentionally, but some of us do have a habit of brushing our teeth standing in front of the wash basin, while the faucet is wide open. The water wastage this habit leads to is quite significant and can be completely avoided. How? Just turn the tap off when you don’t need water and done. It is that simple.

Ditch the bathtub:

While bathing in a bathtub is quite a privilege for most Indian families. Now, bathing in a bathtub isn’t wrong but every bath leads to over 70 gallons (320 litres) of water waste. This amount of water is approximately what over 150 people drink in a day. Try ditching the bathtub completely or make it a once-in-a-while thing. Go with quick showers instead.

Limit your bath time:

Another proven trick to save water in your bathroom is by limiting your shower time. It’s quite simple, take a quick, 5-minute quick shower instead of spending hours inside your bathroom. 5-minute showers are more than enough to fulfil the purpose of bathing.

Wash your clothes only once a week:

On average, washing machines use 19 gallons of water per load, which, for the average household that runs between 5 and 6 loads per week, adds up to 5,605 gallons of water per year. If you are able to comprehend, the wastage is huge. You can minimize this wastage by limiting laundry days to once a week or twice a month, depending on your personal or family needs.

Fix all faulty faucets:

Dripping faucets, leaking water pipes, etc. are a common sight in Indian households. To give you a gist, a leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. That’s the amount of water needed to take more than 180 showers! Fixing these dripping faucets or replacing them with new ones can help you save a significant amount of water. While you are at it, make sure to replace these faucets with the right kind of options, catering to more than one need.

Use Faucets featuring Neoperl Technology:

Using faucets with the said technology will help you save several gallons of water on a daily basis.
