Foul odours from drains, a toilet that never stops running and leaky taps are all signs of a potential plumbing problem. Old or unmaintained plumbing can silently be wasting thousands of litres of water a year costing you money and impacting the environment.
Plumbing is something that should be left to the professionals because most of the system is either in the walls, under the floor or under the ground. Adelaide Water Saving plumbers can help you maintain and check your plumbing system. They can advise you on a more energy efficient system with new plumbing products that promise to save you money, time and the environment.
You can become more water wise with a few tips.
Water Wise Plumbing Tips
Toilets use more water than any other bathroom fixture. Statistics say that approximately 20% of toilets leak. Adelaide Water Saving plumbers can check your toilets and advise you on your options for updating your toilet to a water efficient model.
To become water wise:
- Add flow restrictors and aerators to taps
- Consider a grey water recycling system to reuse water from sinks and showers to flush the toilet
- Prevent pipe blockages from kitchen and bathroom debris by installing sink strainers to drains
- Avoid over-using chemical drain cleaners as they can corrode pipes
- Fix any leaky taps, showerheads and appliances that use water
- Install a rainwater tank to reduce mains water usage– it can be used for outside chores such as watering the garden
