Indoor Plumbing Attachments To Save Water
If your home is relatively new, the contractor may have installed water aerators on the faucets. Aerators can reduce the water flow from two and a half gallons per minute to around one-half a gallon. This fix will go unnoticed by almost everyone in the house except whoever pays the bills. Abend Services can install a tankless water heater to help reduce water usage. New eco toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons vs. 7 gallons per flush in older models. Changing your shower head to lower flow may not be popular, but environmentally and fiscally, it’s a good idea.
Easy Ways To Cut Back On Water Use
Reducing water usage is becoming extremely important now more than ever. You can make some small changes that only require you to adjust some of your daily activities. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. Don’t use your shower as a time to meditate about the upcoming day. When you turn off the water while shaving, it saves numerous gallons of water. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the faucet until it’s cold. Are your appliances old? You might want to upgrade to an Energy STAR dishwasher and washing machine.
Outdoor Water Usage
Many homeowners are tearing out or reducing the lawn they currently have to save water. The expansive yard is loved and despised due to the water required. Even tearing out part of your lawn can make a significant impact. After you reduce your yard, call Abend Services to reconfigure your irrigation system. Mulch around trees and flower beds helps minimize evaporation. Deep soak your lawn early and resist letting the kids run around in the sprinkler when watering isn’t needed. Do you wash your car? Don’t leave the hose running while you’re soaping down your vehicle. Hosing off the driveway may be your preferred method, but it uses an enormous amount of water. Sweep off your driveway and sidewalks instead.
