Climate change or not, water is fast becoming a constrained resource. It's also becoming an expensive resource! Look at your water bill if you don't believe me.
How can you save water and money at the same time? Try these steps:
1) Add low flow aerators to your faucets. Inexpensive and easy to do.
2) Add a water-filled bottle to your toilet's water tank. This reduces the amount of water per flush.
3) Better yet replace your toilet with a 1.28 gallon per flush unit. It will flush better than a toilet using the water bottle trick and may even improve your home's value. I'm using an American Standard Compact Cadet 3 FloWise unit. It works a treat and is on the EPA's WaterSense list.
4) Here's a possible fourth item. A faucet hot water heater. It should definitely save water, but what about the energy use? Any comments?
