Water is not everywhere; more than one billion people do not have access to safe, potable water and often have to walk several miles a day to even get non-potable water. The opposite is true for people in our country. On average, we consume 93 liters of water per person per day! Is that too much for you? And we are not even talking about unnecessary water wastage; we are losing 2000 liters of water a day!
The biggest waste of potable water is that which causes breakdowns, which are also completely unnecessary. For example, a leaky tap can lose 24-54 liters of water per day. And a toilet leak, for example, wastes even more money: up to 2,000 liters of water can be lost in a single day. Consider what would happen if a toilet leak lasted for a week while you were on vacation. The bill could end up being as much as the cost of your vacation…

You can also save up to 80 liters of water by not leaving the water running when you brush your teeth and by taking showers instead of baths. Use energy-saving siphon heads and turn off the main water shutoff in your apartment, especially during long periods of time when you are away from home. Installing a water-saving flush system that uses water once used, such as after a shower, can also save money. Of course, it is best to use a dishwasher that uses minimal water compared to washing dishes. Run the dishwasher at full capacity, preferably only using environmentally friendly dishwashing detergent.
Laundry can also save money, especially if the washing machine is only run at full capacity and an environmentally friendly laundry program is used primarily. In this case, too, choose eco-friendly detergents to protect the environment.
Pools are a topic unto themselves. If you fill your pool with water, never use tap water. If you really follow the rules of water conservation, you can save a lot of money on your water bill alone.
