When washing hands, washing in a basin saves more water than using a long flow of water. The same is true when washing vegetables, fruits or washing dishes. Continuous rinsing with the faucet on is very water-consuming. Intermittent rinsing can save water. . Save used water and use it again.
Washing machines in homes consume a lot of water. In order to save water, manufacturers and scientific researchers have made great efforts to save water as much as possible while ensuring clean clothes.
This inclined shape is not for beauty or novelty. The 10-degree inclined plane design has its own reasons. After the washing drum is tilted 10 degrees, its water level will be relatively deeper, which can achieve the washing effect of a larger amount of water. So it saves water.
The program set by the washing machine is generally one wash and two rinses. The water is mainly consumed in rinsing. If you don’t use washing powder, wouldn’t you be able to save rinsing water?
This ultrasonic washing machine can emit 20,000 shock waves per second, which can "shock" dirt from clothes. The washing machine is also equipped with a special electrolytic water device, which can decompose water molecules in tap water into hydrogen ions and oxygen ions, and use the ions to decompose and adsorb stains and dust to clean clothes. With a two-pronged approach, this washing machine that does not use washing powder can save more than 30% of water than ordinary washing machines.
Also, don’t set the water level in the washing machine too high, otherwise there will be a lack of friction between the clothes and the clothes will not be washed clean, but water will be wasted.
In addition to washing machines, toilets are also major water users in households, accounting for about 35% of residents’ water consumption. A family of three will flush more than 3,000 liters of water a month.
Technicians have developed a new type of toilet that uses only 4 liters of water each time, saving one-third to one-half of the water than the existing toilet.
Its water tank accumulates air while filling with water. It uses the pressure in the water supply pipe to compress the air accumulated inside, and then pushes the water to flow into the toilet at a higher speed. Different from the "pull" force of traditional sanitary ware, this new type of sanitary ware uses "push" force to discharge dirt, and the impact is large, so it can save water.
In fact, other domestic water in the home can also be used to flush the toilet. For example, after the last rinse, the clothes have been washed clean, and the water discharged from the washing machine looks relatively clean and flows directly into the sewer pipe. It's a pity. It would also be nice if the water used after washing your face and washing dishes could be reused. Amateur inventor Wu Hanping developed a domestic water reuse device and obtained a national patent. He connected the kitchen sink, bathroom basin and toilet cistern to a water storage tank. The relatively clean water flowing out of the sink and basin enters the water storage tank for toilet flushing.
Now let me teach you some tips for saving water: 1. Use a water-saving toilet, and install a 2-stage flushing accessory for a regular toilet. 2. Remove the floating cake at the bottom of the water tank to achieve stepless water control.
3. Shorten the flushing time of the automatic urinal flusher. 4. Use rice water, laundry water, dishwashing water, bath water and other clean water to water flowers, wash cars, and scrub floors. 5. Change the carpet cleaning method from wet or steam type to dry powder type. 6. Recycle the water collected by the dehumidifier and the waste water from water purification equipment such as pure water machines and distilled water machines for reuse.
Now that I have finished talking about the 6 water-saving secrets, do you think of a better way to save water than me? Are you saving water? I think you should be saving water!
For a long time, people have generally believed that water is "inexhaustible" and they do not know how to cherish it, but waste it. In fact, water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and our city's urban water supply is struggling to survive on the verge of serious water shortages. Tap water is hard to come by.
No one can live without water for a day. Water is the source of life. Cherishing water means cherishing your own life! Here, we introduce some common sense of water conservation in daily life:

Laundry
Waste: The washing machine continuously fills, rinses and drains water, which requires about 165 liters of water each time.
Water saving: The washing machine uses washing-dehydration-water injection-dehydration-water injection-dehydration. It uses 110 liters of water each time and can save 55 liters of water each time. It can be washed 4 times a month and can save 220 water. Lift.
In addition, centralized washing of clothes can reduce the number of washes; hand washing of small items and small quantities of clothes is recommended, which can save a lot of water; excessive use of detergent will waste a lot of water.
Bathing

If you put too much water in the bath and overflow it, or if you open the water plug and fill the bath with water at the same time, the waste will be staggering.

The water after bathing can be used for laundry, car washing, toilet flushing, mopping, etc.
Cooking
Waste: open the faucet wide and rinse for a long time. If you boil water for too long, a large amount of water vapor will evaporate. Rinse vegetables and fruits with tap water.
Water saving: Wipe off the oil stains on cooking utensils and utensils with paper first, and then wash them to save water.
Control the flow rate of the faucet and change from uninterrupted flushing to intermittent flushing.
Car washing
Waste: Rinse with a water pipe for 20 minutes, using about 240 liters of water.
Water saving: Use buckets of water to wash the car, which requires 3 buckets of water and about 30 liters of water. Use washing water and laundry water to wash the car. Use a water-saving spray gun to rinse. Use mechanical automatic car washing and car wash water treatment and recycling.
