Do you know how conserving water in the bathroom can help you in the long run? Our bathroom remodeling experts at Genie Bath Systems are here to offer tips that will help you save money on your water bills.
It’s easy to conserve water without much difference from your usual routine. Ready to find out how? Our team will explain.
Here is a very simple list of ways you can save water during bath time:
- Fill the tub only halfway, which will also prevent spillage
- Instead of waiting for the water to get warm before plugging in the drain, plug it in right away and adjust the water temperature as it runs
You’ll be able to cut the amount of shower water you use in half, which will also cut your bills in half. Not to mention, you’ll help maintain your area’s water supply (which is especially helpful in places like California.) And this is a perfect solution for bathtubs, too.
- Buy WaterSense shower heads
WaterSense shower heads are more water efficient than a regular shower head. You’ll be able to clean with a brand new shower head that gives you the perfect amount of water pressure.
- Install a steam shower
If you need a new shower, consider installing a steam shower. Steam showers work like regular showers, but they use steam to keep them clean. The use of steam makes it extremely water efficient.
Did you know that cutting the time you take a shower each day by one minute will save about 150 gallons of water per month? Shortening the time you take a shower is one of the easiest ways to make your bathroom more water-efficient.
- Do not leave the shower water running
If you’re looking for another easy way to conserve water in your new shower, try stopping the shower water. While shampooing, conditioning, and lathering, you can stop the water and turn it back on when you need to rinse it out. Some showers come equipped with quick shut-off valves to make this easier.
- Hang towels to dry
You can always hang your towels to dry instead of washing them after each use. We recommend hanging your towels in an open area where nothing else will touch them while they are drying.
Sometimes, a leaking shower, bathtub, sink, or toilet can be a problem that has been known to cause homeowners’ water bills to go up. Check your bathroom for any signs of a leak, which can often be fixed by yourself.
- Install water aerators
Installing a simple water aerator on your sink faucets would be an easy way to save water. Water aerators slow the flow of water as it exits the faucet, so you’ll naturally use less.
- Save water while shaving
Consider ways to save water either at the sink or in your new shower while you shave, including:
- Keep a small bucket of water in the sink while you shave instead of using running water.
- Turn off the shower water while you shave, then turn it back on to rinse it off.
This is a common tip for conserving water in the shower, but it’s one of the most important to mention. When you wash your hands and brush your teeth, turn off the water.
