Family water saving plan

The most important thing to save water is to change personal water habits.

A good habit can help you save a lot of water. For example, many people often forget to turn off the tap when the water is not interrupted. I prefer to let the water flow when I wash my hands, face and brush my teeth, but I don't know that these habits waste a lot of water. According to analysis, a family can save about 70% of water as long as they pay attention to getting rid of bad habits and develop a good awareness of water saving.

It is also an important habit to regularly check whether toilets, pools, faucets or other water pipe joints, as well as walls or underground pipes are leaking. Because water leakage at home is a common occurrence and a great waste. A faucet can drop five or six liters of water a night, so if it leaks, it must be repaired immediately or simply replaced with a new water-saving product.

In fact, there are many similar good habits, such as putting a container under the faucet; Don't use the toilet to flush cigarette butts and small garbage; Don't waste a lot of water for a glass of cold water. ...

There are many ways to save water. The following are some feasible and general methods for your reference.

Washing clothes and water can be reused.

Water saving efficiency: ★★★★★

Laundry is a big household water user. In order to save water, try not to wash clothes separately one by one. Small pieces and small batches of clothes advocate hand washing, which can save a lot of water. If it is too much trouble to wash one by one manually, you can accumulate more dirty clothes and throw them into the washing machine. Because, when the washing machine washes a small amount of clothes, the water level is set too high, and the clothes drift around in it, and there is no friction between them. On the contrary, it is not clean and wastes water. In addition, if the rinsed water is left as the washing water for the next batch of clothes, 30-40 liters of clean water can be saved at a time.

Take a bath, don't let the water run away in vain.

Water saving efficiency: ★★★★★

First of all, shower should be advocated in bathing, which is more water-saving than bath. If you like bathing very much, you can use a water-saving bathtub, because it is not only small in size but also uses circulating water. When choosing a shower, don't leave the water running all the time. You should choose a low-flow shower head and learn to adjust the ratio of hot and cold water. Secondly, try to get wet from head to toe, then wipe the whole body with soap and wash it again at last. If you must take a bath in the bathtub, be careful not to fill it with water. 1/3- 1/4 is enough. Many people in the family need to take a bath, but they can queue up one after another to take a bath, which can save the amount of cold water lost before the hot water flows out.

Toilet, reduce the amount of flushing

If you think the water tank of the toilet is too big, you can put a brick or a coke bottle filled with water vertically in the tank to reduce the amount of water flushed each time. You can also lower the fan-shaped support frame on the overflow pipe in the water tank to 20 mm away from the ball valve, that is, only allow the ball valve to rise to 20 mm or open several small holes in the rubber ball valve to control the water outlet of the water tank.
