Save water bath with a friend
SECTION
One water-saving
suggestion y ou've probably
already heard is to take a
bath with a friend. Here are
some other ideas to cut down
-new house, ask ' the
contractor to install one.
If you must sit, use cooler ,
water and less oft. The cost
of a bath is determined
mainly by the energy used to
heat the water. The water
itself is very cheap. The
amount of energy used will
depend on the amount of
water and the temperature.
When you're doing the
dishes, fill a pan (or other
half of a double sink) with
rinse water instead of letting
the water run.
When you're shaving,
partially fill the basin with
hot water instead of letting it
go down the drain. You'll
shave dollars from your
heating and water bill. To
save even more, switch to an
electric razor. The electricity
cost will be lower than the
hot-water cost.
When you need boiling
water, st art with water from
the hot-water tap. It will take
less time to brint to' a boil.
Use your hot water twice.
After you've had a bath or
done the dishes in the
winter, don't drain the hot
water right away. Let it sit
for a while and heat the
room; then pull the plug. It's
better to heat the house than
the sewers.
Switch from sit-downs to
stand-ups. Take showers
instead of baths.
Install a "water saver"
on your shower-head.

Imagine a candle burning in an up-ended tin can. In time, the inside
becomes black — coated with soot. Since soot is a good insulator; heat on
the inside of the can is restricted from flowing outside: The same thing
happens inside your furnace: Where does the trapped heat go? Up the
chimney instead of into your home. Cleaning the inside of your furnace
takes about an hour and can cut your fuel bill.by as much as 10 per cent.
