Water Saving tips

walshyp

1) Instead of showering or a bath clean yourself with a rag on a stick. Alternatively the river or sea.
2) Take a piss outside or in a jug and empty outside.
3) If a number two poo into a bag and discard by flinging it down the road or out your window. Alternatively ****e in your garden or a neighbors garden.
4) Lick your plates and cutlery clean
5) Leave barrels outside to collect rainwater to wash your clothes in and also fill your jacks(if not taking earlier advice). Especially effective if you collect rain through your houses water gutters.
6) If shaving, brushing your teeth use the gutter/rainwater.
7) If you drink tea/coffee stop drinking them.
8) Fill up big bottles of water from work and sneak the water out in a rucksack.
9) If thirsty do a Bear Grills
10) Dig a well.

Any other savings tips?

Drink from the toilet.

No.4 on your list was the most useful and practical. Well, my dog licks the cutlery and plates and bowls.

Stop burning energy by creating yet another frigging water thread thus saving on the need to rehydrate.

In my house he'd lick the 12-bore last. Filthy, disgusting malarkey.

Tap into your neighbours mains while the husband is out working.

Get one of those 1000litre bulk liquid containers, put it on to a trailer and drive round to the nearest fire hydrant, fill it up then drive home and hook it up to the house water system.

Fill up the cistern in your jacks using the left over water from your condenser dryer.

Dry cleaning regular clothes is a waste of time and money.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Buy the Aldi sh1twater/drinkwater converter in the morning.

Really?

Isn't there people employed in dry cleaning that might otherwise be on the dole?

What has the dole got to do with dry cleaning. Do you know what dry cleaning is?

Wash yourself with milk instead of water.

A person could have a quick cold shower, wouldn't be as tempted to stay in there as long as in hot water.

Just drive a crow bar through the meter, this can happen constantly. Sure accidents happen in bed.

Um....that's not what dry cleaning is.

In Lonesome Dove

My dog is very fond of licking me, nearly all over me to: my face, neck, arms, chest, legs. Just any exposed skin. She even went for a lick on my underarm but I had to stop her there. Might save washing myself.

Our dog was known to eat poo and we still gave her plates/a plate :eek:

Buy a rainwater collector and use that for gardening tasks. If you're replacing the toilet get one with the two stage flush.

We could all do this , only problem for me is I can't dance,

Rainmaking is a weather modification ritual that attempts to invoke rain.

Among the most well known examples of weather modification rituals are North American rain dances, historically performed by many Native American tribes, particularly in the Southwestern United States. Some of these weather modification rituals are still implemented today.[1]

In the summer months don't fill your kids paddling pool with water. Piss in it instead.

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls "perc" or "PERC". It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing.
A dry-cleaning machine is similar to a combination of a domestic washing machine, and clothes dryer. Garments are placed in the washing or extraction chamber (referred to as the "basket" or "drum"), which constitutes the core of the machine. The washing chamber contains a horizontal, perforated drum that rotates within an outer shell. The shell holds the solvent while the rotating drum holds the garment load. The basket capacity is between about 10 and 40 kg (20 to 80 lb).[citation needed]

During the wash cycle, the chamber is filled approximately one-third full of solvent and begins to rotate, agitating the clothing. The solvent temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), as a higher temperature may damage it. During the wash cycle, the solvent in the chamber (commonly known as the "cage" or "tackle box") is passed through a filtration chamber and then fed back into the "cage". This is known as the cycle and is continued for the wash duration. The solvent is then removed and sent to a distillation unit consisting of a boiler and condenser. The condensed solvent is fed into a separator unit where any remaining water is separated from the solvent and then fed into the "clean solvent" tank. The ideal flow rate is roughly 8 liters of solvent per kilogram of garments per minute, depending on the size of the machine.


I never really thought about it before...

When waiting for the water to get hot in the shower/basin collect the running water in a bucket or something else. Use this water for flushes, watering cans, etc.

mickydoomsux

You can conserve water by not using as much of it.

I'm really good at giving tips

Piss out the window

mickydoomsux

In the morning, when there is dew on the grass still, run around your garden with a bucket and sponge like a lunatic soaking all of the precious liquid up before the dastardly sun uses its powers to levitate it away.

Use the showers at work/gym, anywhere else but home.

Don't flush your toilet after every piddle, and tell the family not to either.

Wait until the water is a real dark green colour and/or a scum is starting to form on it before flushing.

Should be able to get close to a week out of it between flushes.

Of course this doesn't address the problem of No.2's. As long as they are below the waterline, do you really need to flush?

I say don't flush until whatever is in there is tickling your arse hole when you sit down.

Or if you have two toilets in the house, pee in one and flush it once a week.
