Gallons per minute test: Take a bucket or bowl and put it under a shower or faucet. Turn the water on. Use a watch or stopwatch and let the water run for one minute. Turn off the water and measure how many gallons of water you have captured in a minute. If it is more than two gallons then ask your parents to get a low-flow plumbing fixture for the shower or sink.
