If your water bill and water consumption are higher than you would like them to be, there are steps that you can take to reduce water consumption in your home. One of the best ways to reduce water consumption in your home is by installing devices that will limit your water consumption in ways that you may not even notice on a day to day basis.

Change Out Your Toilet

Your toilet can use a lot of water, especially if you have an older toilet. If you want to start reducing your water consumption, consider installing a new toilet. A new toilet will only cost you a couple of hundred dollars to purchase and install, but it can help reduce your water consumption over the long run.

When you shop for a new toilet, look for one that doesn't use a lot of water. Look for a toilet that is specifically marked as a one that is designed to save water. Even time you flush your toilet, you'll be saving multiple gallons of water with a new, efficient toilet installed in your home.

Change Out Your Dishwasher

If your dishwasher is getting ready to celebrate being at least a decade old, you may want to look into replacing it. Older dishwashers use more water to clean your dishes. If you have had your dishwasher for over a decade, almost any new dishwasher that you purchase is going to reduce your overall water consumption.

Once again, when you shop for a new dishwasher, look for one that is Energy Star Certified. An Energy Star certified dishwasher is one that saves you money on both energy use and water use. Try to find one that uses as little water as possible. Also, think about what size capacity you need. If you have a large family, you are going to want a larger capacity dishwasher. If your kids have left home, and it is just you and your partner, you may want a smaller capacity dishwasher that uses less water.

Change Out Your Faucets

Finally, you are going to want to change out the aerators on your faucets. You can install aerators on your faucets yourself. An aerator will help you use less water through your faucets. It will funnel the water so that you get just as much pressure, while using less water. This is a great and easy way to reduce the amount of water that you use every time you turn on your faucets.

Cut down on the amount of water that you use at home by installing a new toilet, changing out your dishwasher, and installing aerators on all of your faucets. These steps will help you reduce your water consumption.
