This document provides 13 tips for conserving water at home. Some key tips include only running dishwashers and washing machines when full, taking quick showers, reusing water for plants when possible instead of pouring it down the drain, turning off faucets while brushing teeth, and adjusting water heater temperature instead of flow to use less water. The overall document encourages various small changes that can help reduce overall home water usage.

2.  1 Never pour out water that is no longer
needed - you can always reuse it, for
example you can water the plants, garden,
or wash the pavement.
 2 Don’t flush the toilet when it is not
needed. Thrown handkerchiefs, insects and
other garbage to the bin rather to the toilet.

3.  3 Take a quick shower. Set the small stream
of water.
 4 Fill the bath to its 1/3 capacity, and plug
the outlet before. Even if water is initially
cold, it will become warmer later on.

4.  5 Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth,
shaving, or washing your face.
 6 Use dishwashers and washing machines
only when they are full, or set an eco
program which balances water intake with the
size of the load.

5.  7 When you are washing the dishes by hand,
fill one chamber of the sink with water, then
rinse the washed dishes quickly under a small
stream of running water.
 8 Do not use running water to thaw meat or
frozen foods. Defrost food overnight in the
refrigerator or in the microwave oven.

6.  9 Consider installing a water heater in the
kitchen, not in the bathroom. In this way, you
won’t have to wait until water is warm
enough.
 10 Insulate pipes. Water will become warmer
faster, and you avoid wasting it when it is
heated.

7.  11 Try adjusting the temperature of hot
water, instead of increasing the flow of it.
 12 When replacing an old toilet with a new
one, consider installing a cistern with the
flushing system that enables to control the
amount of water to be flushed.
 13 Replace the old faucets with the single-
lever ones. Adjusting the right temperature
with the use of two knobs is a waste of time
and water. The single-lever faucet regulates
the temperature immediately.
