<h1>Installing Low-Flow Fixtures</h1>
<p>This playbook outlines the steps to select and install low-flow water fixtures such as toilets, showerheads, and faucet aerators, to conserve water and energy.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Selection</h3>
<p>Research and choose low-flow fixtures that meet the efficiency criteria. Look for the EPA's WaterSense label for assurance of water and energy savings.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Purchase</h3>
<p>Buy the selected low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucet aerators from a reputable supplier. Ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Remove Old Fixtures</h3>
<p>Turn off the water supply. Carefully remove existing toilets, showerheads, and faucets, taking care to prevent damage to plumbing.</p>

<p>Following the manufacturer's instructions, install the low-flow toilets, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection to the plumbing system.</p>

<h3>Step 5: Install Showerheads</h3>
<p>Wrap plumber's tape around the threads of the shower arm for a watertight seal. Screw on the new low-flow showerhead securely.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Install Aerators</h3>
<p>Unscrew the old aerator from the faucet, clean the threads, and screw the new low-flow aerator on tightly.</p>

<h3>Step 7: Test Fixtures</h3>
<p>Turn the water supply back on and test each fixture to ensure they are working correctly and not leaking.</p>

<h3>Step 8: Adjustments</h3>
