10 Ways to Save
- Give your sprinkler time off. Most lawns and gardens get 20-50 percent more water than they really need. You can cut watering times 2 to 5 minutes for every 10 minutes you water and still have a healthy landscape.
- Water while you sleep. Water only in the early morning or at night when evaporation is at its lowest.
- Water wetter. Install a “smart” controller, available at an irrigation supply house. This device automatically tells your irrigation system how much to water.
- If it’s broke, fix it. Check for leaks, pipe breaks or clogged sprinklers and replace or repair if necessary.
- Replace outdated, inefficient irrigation equipment. Save money through your local landscaping rebate program, if applicable.
- Shower shorter. Install a water-efficient showerhead that uses 2.5 gallons/minute or less.
- No drip policy. Because they’re “on” 24/7, leaky faucets, toilets, and showerheads can waste a lot of water.
- Flush with pride. Check with your municipality for local rebates to install qualified 1.2 gallons-per-flush toilets.
- Keep it clean & Get green. Use the energy-saving cycle when washing clothes. Use cold water. Rebates are available when you buy a high-efficiency washer.
- Fill ‘er up. Run your dishwasher on the energy-saving cycle and only run full loads.

The best home water conservation product I've found is the Hot Water Lobster Instant Hot Water Valve! It's a recirculation system that uses my existing plumbing! It saves me a lot of time and water by not waiting for hot water! I installed the temperature adjustable recirculation valve under the sink farthest form my water heater and now I have instant hot water throughout my entire home. I’ve had it for almost 3 years and it still works perfectly!
It’s pump free so it creates no noise. The pumps I've had in the past have been noisy, not to mention I went through 2 of them in 3 years! The Hot Water Lobster is made in the U.S.A. and has a 10-year warranty! I installed it myself in 10 minutes! I bought it from their sit for only $179.95! I've saved that much already! Here's their site:
