Many people do not suspect that they make mistakes during the day, which gradually draw out funds from the family budget. They are so commonplace that not many people attach importance to them. As a result, at the end of the month a decent amount accumulates. And if you eliminate these "problems", then you can save money, and spend the proceeds on yourself.
Mixer
Often, while working as a plumber in the apartments of clients, I observed this story: I open a tap with water, and water pours out of it in a full stream. Not mixed with air. Trite, the landlords removed the aerator from the tip of the spout after it got clogged with sludge. And you just had to clean it. Or replace it with a new one. The price of the issue is 30 rubles. Remember, a mixer without aerator consumes 30% more water than usual..
Electric kettle
Well, what can be unusual with a teapot? It turns out that there are moments with him. Many people, especially people of the old school, have a habit of boiling a full kettle of water. What is this connected with, I do not understand. So, you know.
Boiling a full kettle consumes more energy than boiling water for one mug. Elementary, isn't it?Shower head
If you have a shower head with mode switches, then you should choose the most economical mode for washing with fresh water. With fine holes. No matter how it seems to you that washing in this way is not effective, in fact it is not. This fine jet is sufficient for washing. But at the same time, you save water, almost twice. I changed my habit, saved money.
Toilet cistern
Sometimes tenants of apartments do not suspect that a regular trip to the toilet steals a pretty penny. And all because of an incorrectly adjusted drain mechanism. Which is set to the maximum. And it washes away about 10 liters of water. In fact, 5-7 liters is enough to clean the white friend's bowl. By adjusting the tank, you save up to 25% of water.
Cleaning chemicals
Many housewives use liquid gel-based products to clear blockages. Like a mole. Often, a clogged pipe is effectively treated with it. But one must understand that these funds are relatively expensive. Compared to products supplied dry. In granules. For 20 rubles, purchasing a bag, you pour it into a clogged siphon. After a short time, it will dissolve hair or grease and pierce a gap in the pipe. And with the gel, this procedure will take half a bottle. So choose the right chemistry. Thus, the savings will be about 50 rubles per procedure.
