If you want to reduce the cost of your water bill, the first place you can start is your shower. And bonus! The experts at Consumer Reports say not only can you save money, but you can also save your skin and the planet too.
It can help save 2,700 gallons of water per year and reduces the demand on your water heater -- which also saves energy. If you have an electric water heater, that can add up to enough savings to power your house for 11 days.
And if you’re concerned the water-saving flow won’t get the job done, Hope says there’s no need to worry. “In many cases, you really may not be able to tell the difference. To qualify for the WaterSense label, a showerhead has to have certain spray patterns and feel and meet criteria that is at least as good if not better than other showerheads in the market,” he explained.
Hot showers might be good for your mind, but warm water is better for dry skin, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. And after your shower, don’t forget to apply a cream moisturizer.Another cost and water-saving trick: Instead of just idly sitting there and waiting as the water warms up in the shower, use it to wash your face or brush your teeth.
