News :: Pik's Pointers

The big wigs at Water Pik, Inc are piking the high road, and are marketing their new eco-friendly shower head.  In this press release, they mention that two of the biggest wastes of water in the household is the toilet and the shower.  While they miss the boat completely on peeing outside, they have some good pointers that we thought we'd include.  Enjoy:
-- Before you lather up, trade up your current showerhead to a
water-efficient showerhead such as the Waterpik(R) EcoFlow(TM) which
helps reduce water consumption by up to 28%. Water-conserving
showerheads are inexpensive, easy to install and can save a family of
four up to 10,000 gallons of water a year.
-- Avoid letting the water faucet run while you brush your teeth, wash
your face or shave and you can save up to 4 gallons a minute. That's
200 gallons a week for a family of four.
-- Two of the highest uses of water in the house are the shower and
toilet. When possible, take showers instead of a bath and consider
washing your face or brushing your teeth while in the shower.
-- Conserve water in the shower. Turn off the water while you shampoo and
condition your hair and you can save more than 50 gallons a week.
-- Fix leaking faucets and toilets that flush themselves. Research has
shown that an average of 8% (or more) of all home water is wasted
through leaks. Fixing a leak can save 500 gallons each month.
