How to Save Water While Taking a Shower

Taking a shower could cost you as much as 10 cents a minutes. In other words a 30 minute shower could cost you as much as $3.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Two small 12 oz plastic bottles.
• about 1/2 lb of sugar
• a glue gun

1. 
    

   Take two small 12 oz clear plastic bottles and punch a small hole through on of the cups and a bigger hole through the other cup.

2. 
    

   Either sip the juice through the holes or empty it, then wash it with water and let them dry before you start the next step.
   
   You can either let it air dry, or use a hair dryer to dry it.

3. 
    

   Using a small piece of paper make a small funnel and fill one of the bottles with sugar sand. Then connect the two bottles together using tape. Using a timer

4. 
    

   To avoid getting water inside the bottles, make sure you don't leave no gap between the two bottle cups. Hot glue the cups and allow them to dry before you add sugar sand to the bottles.

5. make the hole in the top slightly bigger (a very slight change in size will result in a drastic change, so use cautiously

6. A good way to test the timer on the bottles is to fill it up with more than you need and once you reach the 5 minutes limit draw a line in the bottle and empty the excess sugar sand.

7. 
    

   Now go take a shower. You worked hard enough and you deserve a great shower to relax you. Use your new timer to know when it's time to stop your shower.
