 BATHROOM[INDOOR TIPS]
#23  If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a WaterSense® labeled model.
#24  Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
#25  Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You'll save up to 1,000 gallons per month.
#26  Toilet leaks can be silent! Be sure to test your toilet for leaks at least once a year.
#27  Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the bowl without flushing, there's a leak. Fix it and start saving gallons.
#28  When running a bath, plug the bathtub before turning on the water. Adjust the temperature as the tub fills.
#29  Upgrade older toilets with water-saving WaterSense® labeled models.
#30  If your toilet flapper doesn't close properly after flushing, replace it.
#31  Use a WaterSense® labeled showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.
#32  Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save up to 4 gallons a minute. That's up to 200 gallons a week for a family of four.
#33  If your toilet was installed before 1992, purchasing a WaterSense® labeled toilet can reduce the amount of water used for each flush.
#34  Consider buying a dual-flush toilet. It has two flush options: a half-flush for liquid waste and a full-flush for solid waste.
#35  Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 300 gallons a month.
#36  Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.
#37  When washing your hands, turn the water off while you lather.
#38  Take 5-minute showers instead of baths. A full bathtub requires up to 70 gallons of water.
#39  Install water-saving aerators on all of your faucets.
#40  Drop tissues in the trash instead of flushing them and save water every time.
#41  Look for WaterSense® labeled toilets, sink faucets, urinals and showerheads.
#42  One drip every second adds up to five gallons per day! Check your faucets and showerheads for leaks.
#43  While you wait for hot water, collect the running water and use it to water plants.
