莲蓬头

  • Before installing a new showerhead check how much water flows through your existing one. To do this, you can purchase an inexpensive flow bag, or make one at home using a gallon jug.  测量一分钟内流过多少水.
  • Older showerheads can use five gallons of water per minute or more.  选择能够提供多种功能的设计, 单独的流, 而不是像雾一样的喷雾, 因为它们更节能.
  • Try a showerhead with integral or add-on “soap” valve - a device that fits between the shower arm and the showerhead and temporarily reduces the shower stream to a trickle while the user soaps up, 不改变温度.
  • Install a chlorine filter to remove chlorine from your shower water as a precautionary measure against harmful fumes.

厕所

Toilet flushing is often the largest single use of water in a home, 尤其是在老房子里, but is also an easy opportunity to get instant water savings. 

在你买之前……

  • Many old toilets leak significant amounts of water due to failing flappers. Check for a leak by placing dye tablets or food coloring in the water tank. 如果染料在15分钟内出现在碗里, replacing the inexpensive flapper alone will save water.
  • Before shopping for a new toilet, check for rebates from your water utility.

厕所选项

  • Consider installing a composting toilet that converts human waste to nutrient-rich fertilizer for non-food plants and uses little to no potable water for flushing.
  • Consider a dual-flush toilet, which supports 0.每次冲洗8加仑液体，1.每次冲洗固体液体28加仑.
  • Research and compare high-efficiency WaterSense labeled models that use 1.28 gallons or less per flush, or MaP Premium toilets which use 1.每次冲洗06加仑. Older toilets can be huge water wasters, using as much as five gallons per flush.

浴室的水龙头

  • Before installing a new faucet, check how much water flows through your existing one. To do this, you can purchase an inexpensive flow bag), or make one at home using a gallon jug.  测量一分钟内流过多少水.
  • Choose WaterSense labeled bathroom faucets and aerators that can reduce a sink's water flow by 30 percent or more without sacrificing performance.
  • 因为浴室水槽的水龙头被大量使用, durability is a key consideration when replacing your faucet.  寻找有长期保修期的产品.

浴室排风机

没有适当的通风, moisture from the bathroom can lead to mildew, 霉菌和结构损坏. This can also occur if exhaust goes into an attic or crawlspace. 简单的修复可以帮助防止这些问题.

现有风扇的操作改进

  • For an existing fan, pull the fan cover down from the ceiling. Check to see if there is a gap between the fan housing and the ceiling material. 用堵塞物密封任何缝隙. 这样不仅可以保暖, 防止潮湿空气进入你的阁楼, but it will also make your fan more effective because it will only pull air from the bathroom.
  • Check to see if there is a damper where the bath fan vent exits the house. This will help keep conditioned air in the house when the fan is not in use and help keep bugs out.

新风扇注意事项

  • Purchase a fan that is HVI inspected or ENERGY STAR rated. 
  • 1级风扇.0 sones or less is exceptionally quiet and more likely to be used – protecting your bathroom from moisture damage. “能源之星”认证的风扇必须达到2级.0 sones or less, but there are many models that have a much lower sone rating. 
  • If possible, use a 5-inch or 6-inch duct instead of a 4-inch duct. A larger duct and vent prevents flow problems. Do not allow the duct to sag – this can accumulate water. Ensure the ducts are sealed with mastic and not duct tape.
