The American Family Wastes Enough Water When They Wash Their Hands to Fill a Backyard Swimming Pool
As the world continues to experience a drought, it's crucial that we reduce our water consumption. This is especially true for our daily activities such as washing hands. While it may seem insignificant, the fact is the average American family wastes enough water when they wash their hands to fill a backyard swimming pool.
According to Puronics, here is the math (we all love a little water math right?)
- Family of 4 people X washing hands 9 times per day= 36 hand washings X 4 gallons each time= 144 gallons of water per day
- 144 gallons X 365 days of the year=52,560 gallons of water per year in washing hands
- 18 foot x 36 foot swimming pool with 5 feet depth uses 24,300 gallons of water
The good news is that we can make some simple changes to avoid this waste. One of those important steps in reducing your personal water waste is to use Billy Clean. Billy Clean does not contain any added water, nor does it require water to rinse off
