TOP 10 CONSERVATION TIPS FOR THE BATHROOM 1.   Replace your showerhead with a water efficient model.  This saves as much as 6 gallons of water per minute 2.   Recycle your old toilet and replace it with a water efficient toilet.  This saves as much as 5 gallons of water per flush. 3.   Pay attention to those dripping sounds and fix the leak(s).  Hard water ruins rubber parts over time.         Periodically take the top off your toilet and add a few drops of food coloring or a dye tablet to the water in the tank.  Do not flush the toilet.  If the coloring appears in the bowl within a few minutes, you have a leak that needs to be repaired. 4.    Don't waste water when you brush your teeth.  Shut off the water until it is time to rinse. 5.    Don't waste water while shaving.  Fill the sink with hot water instead of letting the water run continuously and don't shave in the shower. 6.    Never use the toilet to dispose of trash. 7.    Get in the shower right away when the water becomes hot enough. 8.    Take shorter showers and wash hands using only as much water flow as you really need. 9.    Take a shower with an efficient shower head instead of a bath. 10.   Turn off the water while you shampoo your hair.
