SAVE $35.

If you have an older toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush, try using this MacGyver method to minimize water use.  All of our Shifter Families did it, and they all raved about how easy it was.

Buy a tank displacement bag or fill a half-gallon glass or plastic bottle with water (don’t use a brink) and then place it in the toilet tank away from the moving parts.

The half-gallon of water you displace in the tank will be saved every time you flush, which will save you nearly 8,700 gallons of water and up to $35 on water and sewage costs per year for a family of four-even if no one flushes less than normal.
