Faucet Aerator	Size Dimensions: 1" x 1" x 1". This male-thread aerator is a screen that reduces faucet flows to a rate of 1.5 gallons per minute for Kitchen Faucets and 1.0 gallons per minute for Bathroom Faucets. Not WaterSense Certified.
Leak Detection Tablets	These blue dye tablets come two per pack, with directions on the pack. Place one tablet in the tank above your toilet, and if any blue dye leaks into your bowl, your flapper is leaking!
Garden Hose Nozzle	This durable garden hose nozzle features seven different spray settings. Using a positive shut-off nozzle like this in your garden is required and uses only 2.5 gallons per minute. In comparison, an open garden hose can use up to 10 times that amount!
Moisture Meter	Moisture meters are valuable tools to check on the moisture level in your garden and prevent over-watering.
Irrigation Screwdriver	This handy flathead screwdriver will help with simple adjustments to fixed sprinkler heads and other select irrigation equipment. Tip is 1/8", magnetized, and protected with a vinyl safety tip. Use with caution. While the sprinkler system is running, insert the flat-bladed screwdriver to turn the center screw on top of a sprinkler head. Turn clockwise to reduce the spray distance. Turn counterclockwise to increase the spray distance if necessary. The distance changes are usually limited up to 25% of the existing range. Great for use to reduce unnecessary sprinkler overspray onto hard surfaces. If you are unsure of the intricacies of your irrigation system or require more details to properly make adjustments, please consult with a professional.
