These days we are all a little more conscientious about how we use our resources. You might try to save energy by changing the kind of lighting you use - but how often do you think about how much water you use during the day? The water drought in California has reminded us all of the importance of reserving water, so read on for how to use less.
The Current California Drought
Known for glorious sunshine rather than wet weather, it is perhaps not a surprise that somewhere like California can easily enter a drought, and the first four months of 2022 were the driest in recorded memory. This summer, the water shortage is already becoming serious, with Los Angeles residents being encouraged to cut their shower time down by four minutes to save as much water as possible. But there are other ways that you can save water easily, every day.
Use Water-Saving Showerheads
Water-saving showerheads help to cut down on your water usage without you even noticing the difference. They are designed to reduce overall water consumption, and you can purchase them from Advanced Showers to begin your water saving journey.
Opt For Showers Over Baths
A bath can be very relaxing, but it also uses a huge amount of water when compared to a shower. A shower is definitely the better option if your main concern is saving water.
Shower More Quickly
Just like the residents of California have been advised to, showering more quickly can make a big difference to the amount of water you use. If you cut down your showering time and use water reducing shower heads, you will be reducing your usage significantly.
Turn Down The Heat
Do you have the temperature up high? Then you are burning through hot water! By turning the temperature down just slightly, you will use a reduced amount of hot water and see your gas bills lessen, too.
Take Advantage of Stored Water
If you have stored water, this can be a great way to save gas. Using stored water keeps your boiler from firing up as frequently, so it is cheaper and more energy-efficient.
Energy efficiency and reducing water use are important for everyone. If you want to save water, then Advanced Showers can help. With bespoke shower pods suitable for commercial settings and water-saving showerheads, you can use less water without feeling like you’re missing out.
