A middle-aged homemaker screamed with joy after placing an empty plastic bottle under the faucet, seeing her water bill significantly drop

With just one handy tip, the middle-aged housewife has significantly reduced the water bill for her family.
Empty plastic bottles are common items in daily life. Many people tend to throw them away after use, while others collect them to sell as scrap for a bit of extra money.
There are also a lot of people who hold onto plastic bottles for various creative purposes, such as turning them into plant pots, repurposing them as water bottles, or using them as decorations. One notable example is a middle-aged housewife in China who found a way to "save water" using an empty plastic bottle. As a result, her family of four now only pays 80,000 VND for water each month.
How to Make It Work:

  1. Shaping the Plastic Bottle

This water-saving trick is both effective and simple, requiring just an empty plastic bottle as the main material.
Once you have a clean plastic bottle, cut a small round hole in the middle of the bottle’s body. The hole should be sized to fit your household’s water tap snugly, and it’s better to make it slightly smaller so that when the faucet is inserted, it fits perfectly and won’t fall out during use.

After cutting, you can smooth the edges with a lighter to prevent sharp edges that could cause injury, and to improve the bottle’s appearance.

  1. Installing the Plastic Bottle

Once the shaping is done, simply insert the water tap into the hole. Since the hole is slightly smaller than the tap size, it will fit securely, even if you let go of it or there is no support—there’s no worry about it slipping out.

The Benefits:

  1. Water Conservation

Understanding how to "transform" a plastic bottle might still leave some puzzled as to why this can help save water and even reduce water bills to just 80,000 VND per month?
The mechanism is quite simple. Every time we turn on the faucet while washing dishes or doing something else, there are several seconds where water flows without being used. During these moments, water is being wasted silently. Over time, these small losses accumulate, contributing to higher water bills than expected.
By attaching a plastic bottle to the faucet, it acts as a container. When the faucet is turned on, instead of the water flowing freely and possibly going to waste, it is directed into the bottle. This way, no water is wasted, and it’s stored efficiently in the plastic bottle, resulting in noticeable savings on water usage.
It may sound trivial, but this simple hack can help a housewife reduce her water bill significantly. Of course, along with using this method, she also stresses the importance of always turning off the water tightly after each use to avoid unnecessary waste.

  1. Reducing Water Splashing

In addition to saving water, the housewife pointed out another benefit of using the plastic bottle: it helps reduce water splashing. The bottle helps regulate the water pressure, so when the water flows out of the faucet, it doesn’t spray everywhere.
This not only keeps the area cleaner but also extends the spray range of the faucet, making it easier to wash items that are further away.

  1. Flexible Water Adjustment

With the plastic bottle attached to the faucet, you can rotate the bottle 360 degrees to adjust the direction of the water. This turns a simple faucet into a versatile spray nozzle, which is not only time-saving but also adds convenience for various water uses.
