Other Ways to Save on Your Water Bill
1. Fix Leaky Faucets- Just one leaky faucet could waste over 20 gallons of water a day. Have your pipes checked by a professional plumber.
2. Insulate Pipes- If you have pipes on the exterior walls of your home then you should consider having them insulated. It will decrease the time you need to run the water to get the warm water out. This is because pipes on the exterior walls, especially when it 's cold outside, have a huge heat loss while transferring the water to your faucets.
3. High Efficiency Toilets- Water saving toilets- those with 1.6 gallon tanks are the toilets of the future and if you have more than one toilet in your home, can really end up saving you a significant amount of money. Consider a water saving toilet which also has dual flush capabilities- a half flush and a full flush feature.
4. Shower Heads and Faucets- Installing low flow shower heads and aerators for sinks are great ways to limit water flow which will clearly save water and money.
5. Tankless Water Heaters- Unlike traditional water tank heaters which constantly heat your hot water, tankless heaters save energy by heating only the water that you need. You;ll use less water and become more water conscious from having these tanks in your home as you'll probably monitor more closely the amount of time you shower and how much waste you use.
