100+ ways to save water

The US website “Water, use it wisely“ has 112 suggestions for saving water. Some of them are quite specific to the American situation … and some assume that you have things like a pool, but if you take those out, you’re still left with 100 ideas.

Here is the full list of 100 ways to save water, and here are some translations:

  • Faucet: Tap
  • Spigot: Tap
  • Gallon: A US gallon is 3.8 litres or 0.8 UK gallons
  • Toilet flapper: Toilet valve
  • HVAC: Heating, ventilation and air conditioning

My favourite:

#28Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

We’ve had plenty of water saving tips suggested by Plugin participants. Check back here again for a summary.
