What can you do to conserve water and still use your Misting System?
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 12 months, I’m sure you are aware that California is facing one of the worst droughts on record. Lakes are drying up, there is very little water rushing through our rivers, the snow on our mountain tops is scarce. Its quite scary. Some people are still asking what they can do to conserve. Here are a few tips from Modern Misting Systems via our California Public Utilities Commission:
What should we all be doing?
- Turn off the water when we brush our teeth
- Reduce the time you water your lawn
- Check for water leaks…..EVERYWHERE
- Install water saving shower heads and faucets
- Take shorter showers
- Use a waterless car washing system
- Use the broom, not the hose to sweep off your patio
- Turn the water off when you are washing dishes
- Using potable water to wash sidewalks & driveways
- Runoff when irrigating with potable water
- Using hoses with no shutoff nozzles to wash cars
- Using potable water in decorative water features that do not recirculate the water
- Using outdoor irrigation during and 48 hours following measurable precipitation
- Restaurants and other food service establishments can only serve water to customers on request
- Hotels and motels must provide guests with the option of not having towels and linens laundered daily
- Replace every fourth nozzle with a plug. You will still be able to enjoy the mist and save a bit of water
- Put your misting system on a timer
- Don’t leave the misting system on if you are not outside
- Enjoy your dinner parties inside during the Summer months
