A Shower Water Saver Can Make You An Eco-Warrior

By Donna Sanders


Most people these days are looking for ways to live in a better balance with nature, and one way a person can do this is simply to incorporate a shower water saver into their life. There is more than one way of looking at what this means, however. How an individual approaches the matter is entirely up to them.

All new homes, apartments, and mobile homes are now being built with this device either already installed, or their household machines are equipped to use less already. For most people it is enough to simply use less each time they bathe, and they make no real further changes. Others actually install a valve where they can turn it off completely during periods where they believe allowing it to flow is excessive.

These devices can show a significant reduction in use over time, which is happily reflected on their bill. It also decreases the amount of hot water being utilized, thus lowering their electrical expenditures as well. There are washing machines, dishwashers, and showering systems which are all being manufactured to use less from the very start.

Another manner of approaching the notion is the actual reuse of this most precious resource. Vacationers in the Winnebago crowd know all about grey and black wastewater, and appropriate disposal methods for each. That which comes from the tub, sinks, or washing machine is all considered grey, and can potentially be reused.

Washing the car, fences, walkways, and as a way to melt snow rather than shovel it are all suggestions. It could also be used for washing pets, and in some cases people will take the remnants of their bath to wash their clothing. All it takes is a way to drain it into a containment system rather than letting it all go as a waste product.

There are no shortage of people who accomplish this simply by stopping up the tub, collecting it into buckets and taking it where they want it to go. With the RV technology so commonly available today, there are pumps one can buy which will clear out the tub more efficiently. The best notion, however, is to have it all directed to an appropriate containment system straight from the drain.

A house with space under the tubs makes such a thing pretty simple. In some cases there may even be enough room for a rainwater collection barrel system, making the task even easier for anyone unwilling to tote heavy buckets. There are those who even just pump it all out straight into the yard where gardens are waiting for them to clean themselves after a long, hot day of weeding and hoeing.

It is appropriate to warn people, however, that poisons in shampoos and soaps can actually be a bad thing in their vegetable garden. Good news, however, there are a number of personal hygiene and laundry products on the market which do not harm people, plants, or animals. With a little effort on the part of every person, our dirty habit of wasting our washing can come to an end.
