A simple trick that saved me 10 cubic meters of water per month

When I thought about it, I decided to check for myself how our meter worked. I did it simply: I memorized the last digit on the meter, poured three liters of water into a glass, and checked the changes. The meter worked perfectly.

However, I noticed that we have very high water pressure in our apartment, which is why the flow rate was higher than necessary. I decided to reduce the amount a little by turning off the faucets by half. This had no effect on our lifestyle, except that the water in the bathroom filled a little more slowly.

A month has passed, and we’ve been able to reduce our consumption to 37 cubic meters of water, which is still a lot, but already better than the previous result. I’m still looking for ways to save up to 5 cubic meters per person, although I’ve been told that partially closing the ball valves can accelerate their wear. But I’m not sure yet. 

 

 

I’d be interested to hear your experiences. What is your average water consumption per person? Share it in the comments.
