3 Simple yet Highly-Effective Ways to Save Water in Your Home

Water is increasingly becoming precious based on the current affairs wherein more and more places are starting to experience drought. This pushes us to be eco-conscious in saving water. As homeowners, we can do our fair share of help in preserving water. Not only will we be able to help the environment, but we’ll be able to save on water bills! Follow these easy to do and impressively effective tips on how to save water in your household:

1. Regularly check for leaks

Having regular maintenance for your plumbing system is one of the best ways to be aware of any wasted water. Having continuous dripping taps isn’t just annoying, but can extremely waste precious water! This problem may seem simple and we usually don’t bother to have the faucet or tap repaired immediately until they really annoy us and the problem has worsened. Ditch this habit and learn how to pay attention to this kind of “simple” problems that may actually lead you to a bigger problem in the future.

2. Use your dishwasher and washing machine for full loads
​

We use this household equipment daily and for a number of times in one day. We usually cook and eat in our own homes, leading to a sink with dirty plates and other utensils. We dress with clothes and put them in the laundry basket after use. This will require you to use them on a daily basis. 

Instead of washing dirty plates one at a time, wait for the whole family to finish eating. Collect all the dirty dishes and wash it together with the utensils you used for cooking up your meal. And, instead of washing small loads of laundry, wait for them to pile up and wash them all together - but still, of course, separate whites from colored. Using this equipment for a huge load will require much lesser water compared to doing small loads.

3. Turn off the water when you’re not using it

Make this a habit. We usually wastewater daily unconsciously. Turn off the water while you’re brushing your teeth and don’t live it continuously running, or fill a glass and use that while you brush. While you wash your hair and are applying shampoo, don’t leave the shower running. Be more aware that every single drop of water nowadays is precious and it hurts to waste them even just a bit.
