WATER SAVER KIT
INSTRUCTIONS
Curious about the efficiency of your shower, faucets and toilet?
Follow these simple steps to save water—and money on your
bill. You can record your results on the reverse side of this flier.
Water-saving showerheads and additional faucet aerators can
be purchased at most hardware stores. NOTE: Click here to download the Water Saver Kit Instructions PDF, which includes space for you to record flow rates from your faucets.
FLOW RATE BAG INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place the flow bag over the showerhead or faucet, and hold
it tightly with one hand.
2. Run the water at full volume for five seconds.
3. Note the water level in the bag as measured in gallons per
minute (gpm). Repeat a couple of times to be sure of your
result.
4. If the flow is greater than 2.0 gpm, replace it with a water-saving showerhead or aerator.
TO INSTALL THE SUPER-SAVING 1.0 GPM
BATHROOM AERATOR:
1. Unscrew the old faucet attachment. For
inside threaded faucets install as is. For
outside threaded faucets, first remove top
washer to expose inside threads.
2. Hand tighten the aerator, but be sure
to not overtighten it.
LEAK DETECTING DYE TABLETS:
1. Remove the toilet tank lid and drop one dye tablet in the
water tank. Do not flush the toilet.
2. Wait a few minutes and if the blue color appears in the bowl
then the toilet has a leak and needs to be repaired.
