Faucet manufacturer Moen has introduced a new aerator that lets water flow at 1.5 gallons per minute [GPM] rather than the more typical 2.25 GPM. (An aerator is the little thing with the screen on the faucet; it mixes air into the water so that it splashes less.) Sure, it's good looking... but perhaps you don't want to replace your entire faucet to save water.
Moen Moves to 1.5 GPM Aerators
We found a 1.5 GPM aerator for $5.95 over at EarthEasyShop.com, which should fit onto many bathroom faucets.
One caveat: Moen claims its new aerator still provides a strong water flow, which means the faucet design mixes air with water especially well. We haven't used either, but one of our favorite water-saving devices is this $9 low-tech tap saver: it stops the water flowing and turns any faucet into a 0 GPM model!
