3 Easy Ways to Save Water and Money

Plumbing is a great place to start when it comes to making homes more environmentally friendly. This blog will share plumbing tips to help save water and, in turn, save money on water bills. Practicing good water-saving habits will benefit homeowners’ wallets.

Install Water-Efficient Plumbing Fixtures

showerEco-friendly plumbing fixtures are an excellent option for homeowners who want to save money while reducing their environmental impact. Water-saving toilets, which can use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush instead of older toilets that can use up to 7 gallons, are an example of a water-efficient plumbing fixture that saves water and lowers water bills. Toilets are typically the biggest source of water use in a home, so making this switch can be significant.

Low-flow showerheads and faucets are other options, as they can reduce water usage and save money without compromising water pressure. These water-saving fixtures not only help reduce water waste and environmental impact but also save homeowners a lot of money in the long run.

Simple Habits for a Healthier Planet

Water conservation is an essential component of living a "green" lifestyle. Homeowners can start saving immediately by completing simple tasks like taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing their teeth and washing dishes by hand. Another simple way to save water and money is to use dishwashers and washing machines only when full.

Repairing leaking pipes and faucets also helps to conserve water because leaks waste significant amounts of water. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), just one dripping faucet that leaks at one drip per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water a year. Overall, homeowners can make small changes to their daily habits, resulting in significant water savings and lower water bills.

Think Before Flushing

toilet Clogged toilets can waste a lot of water. When a toilet gets clogged, it blocks the flow of water and prevents it from being fully flushed. This can cause the toilet to need more water than normal to flush the contents of the bowl. In addition, clogs can cause leaks, further wasting water. Keeping toilets free of clogs by not flushing anything other than toilet paper is integral to conserving water and avoiding unnecessary waste.

Inorganic materials that are flushed down the toilet can also pollute the ocean. Because inorganic materials are non-biodegradable and take a long time to decompose, they can harm marine life and their habitats. Plastics, cleaning chemicals, and medications are examples of inorganic materials that should never be flushed down a toilet. By properly disposing of inorganic materials, homeowners can help prevent pollution, toilet clogs, and wasted water.
