Families across these United States are practicing reduced water Low Flow Aerators consumption tactics every day. Once something becomes a habit, you don’t even think of it as a water-saving measure. It’s just a new norm.
Take your teeth, for example. Once upon a time when we lived in a land of abundant water, or thought we did, most of us kept the water running until we were through brushing, and then rinsed our mouths and brushes. We never thought of that as wasteful, it was simply how things were done.
But necessity being the eternal mother of invention, we all got smarter and more careful with the planetary resources entrusted to us, including water. Today, millions of people brush their teeth two or three times a day with the faucet off until the brushing is done. Kudos to everyone involved. And same for you shavers who do the same.
Are you open to conserving even more water?
Then here’s an equally simple and low-budget way to accomplish that goal: install a low-flow aerator on every faucet in your home. An aerator is a screen that’s attached to the bottom of your faucet that divides water into tiny streams. These streams are mixed with air, leaving less space for water to pass through, thus reducing the flow rate.
With standard faucets, the flow rate is typically between three and five gallons per minute. By installing a low flow faucet aerator, you can reduce water flow to as low as 0.5 gallons per minute while still receiving an adequate stream of water.
Not only will you conserve large quantities of water, but you’ll also notice the reduction in your water bills. Plus, you’ll help make more water available where supplies are minimal at best – including in third world countries.
The average aerator costs about $5 and is easy-as-pie to install. We urge you to outfit all your faucets with aerators at your first opportunity.
