 Low-flow showerheads
This efficient showerhead will help you enjoy a full force shower while you save water and cut your energy bill. It flows at 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) and, with a twist of the head, provides a pulsating massage action. Teflon tape is provided with the showerhead. Use two wraps of teflon tape when installing showerhead. The tight seal will prevent water leaks.
Faucet aerators for kitchten or bathroom sinks
These aerators screw on to your existing faucets to help save water and money.
The kitchen aerator flows at 2.2 gpm and the bathroom aerator flows at 1.5 gpm.
Dye tablets
Save water and money by checking your toilets for silent leaks. Place a dye tablet in the tank and don't flush the toilet for 15-30 minutes. If color seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a silent leak.
Teflon tape
Use a small amount of teflon tape when installing showerheads and aerators. The tight seal will prevent water leaks.
 Hose nozzles
A running hose uses ten gallons of water per minute! A weekly 20 minute car wash with the hose running can waste 10,000 gallons of water per year. With a hose nozzle you can save 75 percent, or up to 7,500 gallons a year.
