Help the environment, save energy, and save money with growandmake.com’s Water Conservation Kits. Water is essential to life on earth. By conserving water, you help the environment. You save water for fish and animals, help preserve the supply of drinking water, and ease the burden on wastewater treatment plants. By conserving water, you also save energy. You save the energy that water suppliers use to treat and move water and the energy used to heat water in your home. By conserving water, you also save money. Because we pay for the water we use, by using less water we have more money left to spend on other things.

1.5 gpm Showerhead
The average showerhead use about 3-5 gallons of water per minute. This means a 10 minute shower will result in the use of 30-50 gallons of water. With the 1.5 gpm showerhead, a 10 minute shower consumes only 15 gallons of water. This showerhead uses flow control technology which guarantees consistent, even pressure. For a family of 4 each taking 10 minute showers, the 1.5 gpm showerhead guarantees a savings of 140 gallons in just 1 day...51,000 gallons per year! This showerhead installs easily without any tools.

Aerators
Faucet aerators are simple screw in attachments for bathroom and kitchen sinks. Aerators reduce the water coming through the faucets by mixing it with air; because there is less space for water to flow through, the water flow is reduced while water pressure is maintained. In fact, faucet aerators don’t just save water, they also reduce the natural gas and electricity cost involved with water heating. The swivel kitchen aerator allows for a circular or rotating movement which makes it easier to clean dishes and kitchen sinks.

Toilet Tank Bank
By simply filing the toilet tank bank with water and hanging the bag inside the tank of the toilet, you can reduce the amount of water in your existing tank by about 0.8 gallons, saving water with each flush. Assuming 7 flushes per person for a family of 4, the toilet tank bank will save you 22 gallons of water each day...8,176 gallons per year!

Water Flow Meter Bag
The calibrated Water Flow Meter Bag makes it easy to measure the flow rate of water from showerheads and faucets, which can help you estimate the savings of upgrading to newer water-saving devices. Place the bag under your existing showerhead or faucet, turn on the water for a timed period, and the markings on the bag will indicate the gallon per minute flow. By knowing the flow rates of your existing fixtures, you'll be able to determine the savings from using your new devices.

Toilet Leak Detection Tablets
Toilet leaks account for the most common wastage of water and can waste as much as two to five gallons of water per minute. A leak can easily cost you up to $100 per month in increased water and waste water bills. To detect a leak, simply install a leak detection tablet which will turn the water in the toilet bowl blue if a leak is present.
