Two points to save water
We can begin water conservation from two angles: ” water recycling” and ” water loss“.
1. Reuse and water recycling to create a more sustainable and green lifestyle
How can you achieve water recycling? You can recycle water and use it in your daily life. E.g:
For washing vegetables, fruits, and dishes, collect the cold water.
Use rice water or noodle water to wash the dishes.
Rice washing water is suitable for shampooing hair and watering plants. Recommendation: Use 3 types of “natural shampoos” for gray hair and hair loss.
Recycle water can be used to make secondary domestic water such as bath water (larger washbasins or shower stations), washing water, condensed from dehumidifiers, air conditioners, washing dishes, washing fruit and vegetables, and washing faces water (the small washbasin houses the sink). This water can be used for cleaning the toilet, mopping up the floor, washing the car and watering the flowers.
2. Reduce water consumption
It refers to reducing water consumption by altering water usage habits or frequency.
The three most common water uses in household life are washing and flushing the toilet. These three areas may be the most important.
Install water-saving devices The Water Resources Administration of Taiwan and the National Environmental Protection Agency of the United States both recommend the use of the provincial water mark. These products can be installed without requiring people to alter their water consumption and can help save water. Taiwanese may want to prioritize water-saving products, such as faucets, washing machines and shower heads. Water-saving benefits can be substantial in the long term.

To flush the toilet,
You can also modify the non-water saving toilet with two-stage flushing accessories. When flushing the toilet you have the option of choosing between small or large volumes.
Baking soda powder can be used to clean the toilet. It is more effective than detergent and requires less water. Spray the toilet’s upper edge with baking soda solvent and rinse off with the circulating water.
Washing clothes: Forget about the traditional laundry schedule and use the “appropriate” detergent according to the laundry load. This will allow you to choose the best laundry schedule. Before washing clothes, wait 8 minutes until the washer is full.
Bath: Use soap in place of shower gel. Install a head for the showerhead and take a bath instead. Don’t rinse for too long. These actions will save you water.
