Saving Water With Showers Instead Of Baths

To save on water take showers, not baths. A five minute shower will use about 7.5 gallons of water, while filling a bathtub can use up to 20 gallons.

I bought a shower head with an on & off lever. I get wet turn it to off. soap up turn it on to rinse. Saves so much water and the energy to heat it. I also have a flow restrictor in the showerhead. Total Cost of restrictor and special showerhead under 5.00
