There Is More Than One Shower Water Saver Technique

By Donna Sanders


Most people these days are looking for ways to live in a better balance with nature, and one way a person can do this is simply to incorporate a shower water saver into their life. There is more than one way of looking at what this means, however. How an individual approaches the matter is entirely up to them.

All new homes, apartments, and mobile homes are now being built with this device either already installed, or their household machines are equipped to use less already. For most people it is enough to simply use less each time they bathe, and they make no real further changes. Others actually install a valve where they can turn it off completely during periods where they believe allowing it to flow is excessive.

These devices can show a significant reduction in use over time, which is happily reflected on their bill. It also decreases the amount of hot water being utilized, thus lowering their electrical expenditures as well. There are washing machines, dishwashers, and showering systems which are all being manufactured to use less from the very start.

The second understanding of what this concept could mean, is simply reusing that which had once been showering upon you. Recreational vehicles refer to the leftovers from showers and dishwashers as being grey, and this grey moisture can still be utilized. Rather than letting it go into the sewer or septic tank, many eco-minded individuals simply find another way to use it.

There are a plethora of basic outdoor chores and cleaning tasks that this resource would be perfect for. This includes watering gardens, car washes, melting snow, bathing pets, washing sidewalks, and even using tub water to launder clothes. All it takes is for the household to care enough to establish a method of collection of this precious resource, rather than allowing it to be treated as a waste material.

There are no shortage of people who accomplish this simply by stopping up the tub, collecting it into buckets and taking it where they want it to go. With the RV technology so commonly available today, there are pumps one can buy which will clear out the tub more efficiently. The best notion, however, is to have it all directed to an appropriate containment system straight from the drain.

A house with space under the tubs makes such a thing pretty simple. In some cases there may even be enough room for a rainwater collection barrel system, making the task even easier for anyone unwilling to tote heavy buckets. There are those who even just pump it all out straight into the yard where gardens are waiting for them to clean themselves after a long, hot day of weeding and hoeing.

For those who re-purpose H2O in this way, it is important that they use biodegradable soaps and shampoos, and having things like hair dye go down the drain. For anyone who wishes to do the same with their kitchen sink, there are dish washing liquids that are safe for the environment as well. With a little effort and ingenuity, we can reduce what we waste.
