Shower smart: Set a timer and go!
You know when you're mid-shower, thinking about life, and suddenly 20 minutes have passed? That’s roughly 100 gallons of water down the drain. A shower timer can help you cut that down fast. Set it to five minutes and you’re good to go. You'll save 75 gallons of water every time you shorten that long shower. Save water, save money, save time.
Swap your showerhead (but keep that water pressure!)
You don’t have to give up great water pressure to save water. Why not go for a shower head that's designed to reduce water use while keeping the flow just right?! Simply screw it on, and you're all set. When it’s time to move, swapping it out is just as easy. Simple, efficient, and hassle-free!
Faucet aerators: The underrated water hero
If your faucet feels like it's gushing, it's time for a quick fix. Faucet aerators blend air with the water stream, cutting down the flow without losing pressure—saving gallons of water every day. Mana offers renter-friendly aerators that are simple to install. Just twist them on, and you're good to go. Need to move? Twist them off just as easily.
Dual-flush toilet converters for the win
Standard toilets use a surprising amount of water—up to 3.6 gallons with every full flush. Over time, that adds up to thousands of gallons wasted. But there’s an easy way to cut back: Dual-flush converters let you choose how much water to use, reducing flushes for liquid waste to 1.28 gallons. That means you can save up to 2.3 gallons with every flush, and installation couldn’t be simpler—no tools, no hassle. Just pop it in, flush smarter, and start saving water right away!
Stop leaks before they start
Leaks? No thanks! Even a tiny drip can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water a year—and that's without you even noticing. Mana’s smart leak detectors are here to save the day. Just pop one under your sink, and it’ll alert you the moment it detects a leak. No tools, no complicated setup. It’s an easy way to stop water waste before it starts and avoid any landlord headaches.
