Much emphasis has been placed on careful conservation of water and electricity. Many grand ideas are presented. Yet it is often the most basic maintenance that can provide conservation benefits. For instance, replace dripping bathtub faucets. There are many different types of bathtub faucets these days, and a simple replacment can save water immediately and money in the long run. Older homes are particularly susceptible to this problem. What's worse, an untended dripping faucet can ruin the veneer of an old tub or sink. Dripping faucets and stained sinks or tubs lower the value of homes for sale as well.
By replacing parts as needed depending on the type and brand of faucet It's possible that the gasket needs to be replaced, which is quite easy to do. Turn off the water source (under the sink) before you begin, though. Then remove the faucet handles and replace the gaskets. You can remove the faucet handles to see what size and type of gaskets you need first, or you can purchase a packet of assorted size and types of gaskets at any hardware store, in which should be the type your faucet uses. And don't be afraid of trying this on your own, it is much easier than most people think, and much cheaper than paying a plumber to do it for you.

The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.
