Problem: It’s easy to forget to turn off water that’s filling a jug or rinsing glassware.

Solution: Install or use timers on critical or continuous water uses.

Benefits: This will improve research quality by insuring that high quality water is available for all needs.

Costs: None if timers are installed. Some installation of timers and solenoid valves is needed.
