While I can work on the showering part with a very low flow shower head and an on/off button, what I don’t know yet is how much I use per month on laundry, I don’t think it is a lot, but I don’t know the figure, I’ve been too lazy to measure it.

Are you on a well or municipal? We have a well, but was able to figure out the water usage by putting a timer on the pressure tank switch and doing a couple of loads.

Got a pretty good estimate of usage as well as power usage and bought a new washer and dryer set. That knocked are water usage down by about a third and greatly reduced our power consumption. I did this to plan our backup power system.

If it is municipal, do you have a water meter?

I can use the meter but I just haven’t gotten around to doing it.

I did look at a few monthly water bills and my usage was running between about 30 gallons and 38 gallons for the months, per day.

If I get in the mood to make this a game I will see what I can do with it. A problem is that I don’t want to install a urinal at this address, and can’t really afford to buy a waterless one and a 1.28 gallon toilet, at this time.

Still, if these threads keep popping up, maybe I will see what I can get my water usage down to.
