How to reduce your shower water consumption

If your shower's water flow (water pressure) it is high, you may be using more water than necessary for having a shower.

At home, we have tried two methods to save water while still enjoying a nice and relaxing shower.

First we tried to install an Eco shower but the results were very poor, we were barely saving any water. It was a waste of money.

Afterwards, we installed a flowing reduction valve and it has worked quite OK for us. A quite economic and easy to implement method to save water.

My wife likes to feel the water pressure while having a shower, so she adjusts the flow to allow the full flow. I am not a 'fish' type, I am OK with having a shower at half flow so I am adjusting the water flow accordingly.

The biggest saving comes when our small children are having a shower (or better said, when they spend time playing with the water...) because we are adjusting the water flow to the minimum so they can have their showers and have fun playing with the water. Same results, lower cost.

Let's be aware that we don't need to waste water, that we can reach the same results by just applying some simple workarounds.

If you want to know more, if you want to save water while also reducing your water bills, visit us at Effiworkx and let us guide through the home efficiency path.

Also water pumps are useful if there is no electricity. The pump in our house is older than my mother
