Eco-Friendly Plumbing is Here! 

The damage that is currently being done to the planet is going to cause catastrophic problems someday, and people need to change their ways immediately. Very subtle things can be done to help save the environment and remain eco-friendly. Allentown plumbers have some simple things that can be done at home to help contribute to the safety of the planet.

Green Water Pipes

Steel or PEX pipes are durable and maintain heat well, which prevents additional material from having to be used. Many homes use plastic or copper pipes.

If that is the case, pipe insulators can be added for a low price. This simple addition can reduce heat loss by 80%. Insulated pipes will also provide homeowners with an eco-friendly solution because less energy will be needed to heat the water.

Eco-Friendly Bathroom Solutions

Many quick fixes can happen in the bathroom to help the family go green. One option is to purchase an eco-friendly toilet. These are relatively inexpensive and will help the environment and save money on your bill. “Green” toilets can use 20% to 60% less water compared to regular toilets. Many toilets come with the option that includes dual functions that allow users to select the amount of water flow based on need.

Another option in the bathroom is water-efficient showerheads. They can reduce water flow by up to 1.75 gallons per minute (standard showerheads flow at 2.5 gallons per minute). Users would be using 30% less water as a result. Eco-friendly faucets can also be purchased for bathroom sinks. Some of the newer faucets give off tremendous water pressure with less water output.

Don’t Forget About Outdoor Plumbing

Outdoor watering systems are available to keep your lawn looking thick and green. An outdoor tank can be installed to collect rainwater to be used for landscaping needs. Irrigation systems that schedule when and how long the water stays on can be an efficient way to avoid wasting water.

Many landscaping companies also recommend using drip systems instead of spray systems. They are more efficient and much better for the environment. And, don’t forget to consistently check on unseen leaks and drips that could be happening without someone noticing.
