Easy Ways To Conserve Water In Your Daily Life
Water is a precious resource. We have to learn to use less of it in our daily lives so we can ensure a steady and safe supply of it for our future and for the future of our children. Conserving water can also save us a lot of money. Your household water bill is likely one of your biggest monthly housing expenses, outside of the mortgage itself and maybe your energy bill.
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to cut back on how much water you use, from making simple, lifestyle adjustments to working with an Orange repiping plumber on systemic issues. Here are five top tips for conserving water in your home:
Don’t Let The Water Running & Turn Off The Tap
Many of us just keep the water running while we are performing tasks like brushing our teeth or cleaning the dishes. But that means that there is a lot of time where the water is just running down the drain and not being used for anything specific.
Turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth. Turn off the tap between grabbing dishes off the counter or putting them into the drying rack. It may feel weird at first to be turning the tap on and off so frequently, but you’ll soon get used to it, and you’ll save many gallons of water each day in the process.
Shorten Your Showers To Save Water
A shower uses just over 2 gallons of water per minute. The longer you are in the shower, the more water is running down the drain. You can save a lot of water by keeping your showers short – under 10 minutes if you can. You can save even more water by turning the shower off between activities. For example, you can wet yourself, turn the shower off, and then lather. Then turn the shower on only when you are ready to rinse.
Buy New Appliances: Dishwasher, Washing Machine & Others
Your dishwasher, washing machine, and other appliances may all be using more water than they should. You can swap them out for low-flow options that save you water and electricity. Just wait until it is time to replace them so that you aren’t creating more waste. Or donate your old appliances and upgrade.
You can also swap out your toilets, shower heads, and faucets for low-flow options. Collectively, you can save many gallons of water every day.
Fix Leaks Immediately
Plumbing leaks can not only waste a lot of water; they can also lead to serious damage to your home. It is important that you fix leaks as soon as you know they are there. Signs that you might have a leak include low water pressure, sounds coming from your walls, yellow or brown spots on your walls or floors, or peeling paint. Call a repiping plumber as soon as you notice any of these signs to get to the source of the problem and correct it quickly.
Always Hire Plumbing Professionals
Any time you have an issue with your plumbing, call the professionals to inspect or repair it. Do not feel tempted to handle the job yourself. You need training and experience to diagnose issues and repair them properly. Also, do not feel tempted to just hire the person who gives you the cheapest quote. Experience and expertise are worth the additional money. Hiring someone who does not have that expertise will put your system at risk of additional problems, which will just cost you more money in repiping repair and in repairs to your home.
The professionals will also be able to give you tailored recommendations for your plumbing to help you conserve water use. That includes repairing loose or corroded pipes that could be leaking water over time.
