Wrap your hot water heater in a blanket. Saves energy and keeps the hot water hotter so you waste less water and energy getting to the hot water.

So you've already done that ... Go tankless. With traditional hot water heaters you heat a tank of water which gets cold waiting for that one shower a day, then you go through the cold water to get to the hot water. Tankless heaters only heat the water you need.

Less energy, less water.

I have this. Initially you waste water because there is no tank, so you have to run the water until you get heated water. but once you get into the bath, or the shower, and you have your dishwasher going and your washing machine going, you can shower all day without ever running out of hot water.
Hm, that doesn't save anything....

My exam today was in the "Jimmy Stewart" room, and there were a couple of nice pictures of him on the wall . . . which was oddly reassuring as I waited for the exam to begin!

Couldn't we save water, energy and time by running ourselve through the dishwasher?

I hope you're joking. I know our system works fine.

Lots of water saved this way.
