You rely on your plumbing system to supply you with water on demand, so you can get a drink, cook, wash your hands, clean dishes, do laundry, and take care of other routine tasks. However, it becomes very easy to waste water when it is so easily accessible.
Here are three plumbing tips that can help you conserve water and save money in the process:
- Fix Leaks Promptly – Whether you have dripping faucet, running toilet, or a pipe joint leak underneath a sink, it’s important to get it fixed as soon as you notice it. A slow drip of water can waste gallons of water every day, not to mention the leak can cause property damage and mold growth.
- Install Low-Flow Fixtures – Low-flow fixtures like low-flow faucets, toilets, and showerheads can help to save a significant amount of water every day since they are designed to use less water than conventional fixtures without sacrificing performance.
- Install a Tankless Water Heater – A standard water heater takes time to heat the water before it reaches your faucet or shower. That means you could be standing there for a full minute before you begin using the water as you wait for it to reach the right temperature. A tankless water heater offers hot water on demand, so there is less standby water loss. If you don’t opt for a tankless water heater, you should prioritize routine maintenance for your water heater so that it operates as efficiently as possible.
