i leave it running.

nope!

Well, I know that to save water you're supposed to stop the water when not it direct use, and turn it back on when it's needed. But I tend to leave it on throughout my brushing experience. Here's one back at you, do you use hot or cold water? My wife uses hot water, while I use cold.

Hello,

I'll first run the water to get it warm enough, and then after that I turn it on and off as I need it. I don't want to waste water. Also, since my landlord pays the water bill, she would flip if my roommates and I use more water than necessary. It all works out, and I have a nice smile. :)

off & on as needed

I turn it off and on as I need it. It saves water!!
I only use water when I need it. I don't turn on the tap and wash my hands for five minutes b/c I'm thinking bout something or whatever...

I usually do

I do it in the shower

Water is very expensive here in the desert
So, I use only what I need

I turn it off, only because first I use hot water to soften my bristles up and then cold to rinse the toothpaste out of my mouth

Brush my teeth? Hey anyone know where I can get a cheap toothbrush? Used maybe? I wish I had some water.

YES I USUALLY LEAVE IT RUNNING. ONLY ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE DO I SHUT IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AS I NEED IT. GUESS I DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT IT CAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR WATER, ITS INCLUDED IN MY RENT. I ALSO TURN ON THE SHOWER WATER FIRST, THEN I GET UNDRESSED THEN GET IN.
