However, there are ways to reduce water consumption during normal use.\tEco-friendly bathroom faucetsThe largest manufacturers of bathroom fixtures offer faucets equipped with special technologies that reduce water consumption. One of the simplest is the use of an aerator at the end of the spout. This small component is a strainer that draws in water thanks to the vacuum it creates. The flowing water has a much greater volume. Thus, during normal use, we consume less water\u2014usually by up to 30%, which translates to significant savings. Some faucets have special water flow restrictors or are equipped with thermostats. Touchless models are among the most eco-friendly. In this case, we won\u2019t use more water than we need. These faucets are, of course, more expensive than those without any additional features. However, purchasing an eco-friendly model can quickly pay off in the form of lower water bills.\tSwap the bathtub for a shower!To further increase water savings, it\u2019s best to give up taking baths. Even a 10-minute shower typically uses less water than a long hot bath. A bath isn\u2019t just about the amount of water we fill the tub with\u2014you also need to account for the additional liters of hot water added throughout the bath. A shower stall also has a number of other advantages. A shower takes up much less space, which is especially important in small bathrooms. Taking a shower is also much faster.Many people choose a bathtub over a shower stall because of their children. However, simply choose a model with a deep shower tray so that children can play in it practically just as they would in a bathtub.\tChanging habits is importantOf course, these fixtures help reduce water consumption, but they don\u2019t eliminate the need to change our habits. After many years of education on energy conservation, it\u2019s clear that practically everyone is mindful of reducing their energy use. Turning off the lights in rooms you\u2019re not using is one of the key factors. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to remember to turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
