Easy Ways To Conserve Water
Every time we cut back in using any of the Earth’s resources, we are doing our planet a favor!
Below are simple methods on how to conserve water.
1. Look around and check for possible water leaks. There’s a relatively simple way to do this. You can try to turn off the water in the house for a couple of hours. After you do this, take down the reading of your water meter. Right before you turn your water back on, read the meter again. A change in number means there is a leak. Now, it’s up to you to find it!
2. Make sure your toilets are free of leaks too- Try this little experiment: Place some food coloring in your water tank. Don’t flush it, just observe. If you notice color leaking in the bowl after about half an hour, there is a leak in your bowl!
3. Invest in a floater booster of tank bank for your toilet. You can even make one yourself. Get a water bottle and put some water in it, or maybe some sand and pebbles. Place this inside your water tank. This will save many gallons of water.
4. If it’s time to change toilets, invest in a low flush variety.
5. Have your water pipes insulated- This will ensure your water heats up faster, wasting less because you won’t have to wait while letting the water run!
