Water consumption

Has gone gown significantly. We used between 50-70 liters (13-18 gallons) for a normal shower. Now we only use 20-30 liters (5-8 gallons)

Calculation:

• 300 days / year shower (holiday,travel)
• Average savings of 30 liters (8 gallons)
• 2 people
• 2x 30liters x 300 days = 18.000 liters savings/year (nearly 5000 gallons!)
