How to Conserve Water at Home

smelly drain

Water conservation matters—not only for the planet but for your wallet and local communities too. Did you know Americans use 167 plastic water bottles per person each year—and only 38 of them get recycled? Producing those bottles consumes enough oil to power 1.3 million cars or heat 190,000 homes annually. That’s why it’s smarter to refill reusable bottles and install a Los Angeles whole home water filtration system like the Waterboy by Superior Water. Not only do you reduce plastic waste, but you also enjoy clean, safe water from every tap.

Eco-friendly Upgrades For Every Room

Kitchen:
Upgrade to a water-efficient dishwasher and only run it when full. Fix any leaky faucets and consider installing a home water filtration faucet filter to avoid bottled water dependence.

Bathroom:
Swap out shower heads for low-flow fixtures—many use as little as 1.5 gallons per minute. Teach kids (and adults!) to turn off the tap while brushing teeth. You can easily save 1–2 gallons each brushing session.

Laundry:
Invest in a high-efficiency washing machine. Run only full loads, and choose cold-water cycles when appropriate. A modern, water-saving unit can cut laundry water use by up to 50%.

Outdoor Upgrades and Smart Habits

Use drip irrigation and mulch your garden to reduce water loss. Water early in the morning or late at night to avoid evaporation. Sweep patios instead of hosing them down. Harvest rainwater in barrels to care for plants during dry spells.

The Power of Whole Home Filtration

Installing a whole home water filtration system, such as the Waterboy, not only encourages smart hydration but eliminates the need for single-use plastics. You’ll also reduce bottled-water expenses, protect appliances from scale, and lessen your environmental footprint.

Educate and Inspire the Whole Household

Teaching kids simple habits—like turning off taps promptly, limiting showers to 5–7 minutes, and collecting unused water for gardening—builds lifelong conservers. These small actions add up. A 5-minute shower saves around 5–10 gallons compared to an 11-minute average shower in many U.S. homes.
