Let's learn to conserve water while doing laundry. Save Water!

Let's learn to conserve water while doing laundry. Save Water!

In the previous month’s blog, we focussed on some water saving tips in the garden.

Water saving is not limited or restricted to a single area. In fact, we can save a large amount of water while doing the laundry as well. Let us follow these simple tips and save water as much as we can. Let us get started.

Reuse towels:

The bath towels that we use every day does not need to be washed every day. Instead, we can hang it after using it in the sun outside to dry. The same towel can be easily used for a couple of times without actually washing it.

Use energy saver washing machines:

There are many energy saver machines available in the market. When you go to buy a washing machine, do check for this feature. These machines use less water and less energy with the help of advanced technology.

Use machine when fully loaded:

Do not run the machine for a small pile of dirty clothes. Keep it aside and let a bigger pile build up to be washed it all together. It does not make sense to wash fewer clothes and make the machine run again and again. This way both water and energy will be saved.

Wear clothes more than once if not dirty:

Some clothes can be easily worn twice or more without actually washing it every time you wear it. For example, jeans or a sweat jacket. These clothes can be hanged to dry under the sun and can be worn again.

Use less hot water and more cold water:

Turning cold water into hot water consumes a lot of energy and water gets wasted too. So, use water that is available – warm or cold and save on water energy costs.

Pre-treat stains before washing:

Some bad stains need to be treated before washing them with a stain remover using hands or a brush. In the first wash itself these stains will come out and you need not wash the same clothes again and waste water unnecessarily.

Check for leaks at regular intervals:

The fittings and connections might leak over time. It needs to be checked at regular intervals to fix and repair any such leaks.

Collect rain and grey water:

Start collecting rainwater and grey water as these can be used to wash the stairs or cars or any such things outside the home. It can also be used to water the plants.

So, start saving while doing laundry. Penguin Tank, a renowned plastic water storage tank manufacturer highly recommends the same.

Why The Color of a Water Storage Tank Makes a Big Difference?

Why The Color of a Water Storage Tank Makes a Big Difference?

There are many considerations for buying a water storage tank. Some of them include the need, size, type, material, longevity, and also the color. Aesthetics play an obvious role while considering the color apart from the safety and need. The firsts and foremost factor is the material of the tank. Which one you choose- steel, fibreglass, concrete or a plastic tank?

Depending upon the material, the color selection of the water tank comes into the picture. Steel galvanized, fibreglass or any other type apart from a plastic water tanks does not have much to offer when it comes to the color options. Some colors available with these types are green, tan, blue, red and grey depending on the manufacturer. While in case of plastic water storage tanks, the color choices are unlimited. At the same time, these tanks are strong, durable and lightweight. The plastic tanks are made using the same grade of material i.e. low linear density polyethylene (LLDPE) which has the highest strength and durability.

The standard colors of a plastic tank are black, green and tan. Nowadays a number of attractive colors are available to choose from. Some include parrot green, baby pink, violet, lemon green, bright orange, and golden yellow. The dark-colored tank blocks the maximum light and prevents the growth of algae. Algae is the green colored stuff floating on the banks of water which is harmful for human consumption. Algae growth takes place due to ultraviolet rays of the sunlight. When UV rays come in contact with water, algae grow. Apart from this, choosing the right color that blends into the environment well is equally important. The saying ‘Go Green’ can be promoted quite well by using an appropriate colored plastic water tank.

Selection of a color entirely depends upon the buyer’s preference. Some still prefer the traditional old colors while some are explorers and invest in the new colors available at Penguin Tank. More consumers are trying different colors at present as the quality remains the same. If you get the best quality in a better and more attractive way, then why not choose it.

Therefore, it is a fact that that color of the tank has significance from both the quality and aesthetics point of view. Next time you buy a water tank, try out the new and trendy colors from the house of Penguin Tank. Be an explorer.
