Even though the gas prices have fallen significantly, the economy in the US is not what we would like it to be. Everyone is looking to save a dime here and a nickel there. Save money on your water costs with a few of these tips:

Install low-flow aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

They can be installed in minutes by screwing them into the end of faucets. While most aerators limit water to three gallons per minute, low-flow models are available for around $5 that can reduce the flow to as little as one GPM. This can reduce faucet water usage by almost 60%. Aerators can save energy as well, since they use less hot water.

Don't Use the Garbage Disposal too often

Compost food waste or throw it in the trash. Both are water-free options.

Keep Drinking Water in the Refrigerator

Then, you won't waste water while you wait for the tap to get cold.

Purchase a FloodStop for your Washing Machine

A floodstop automatically shuts off the water supply to the washing machine and sounds an alarm when a few drops of water make contact with the water sensor. Whether caused by a burst hose, or an overflowing washing machine the Floodstop will automatically close the valves and shut off the water supply.
