Green Plumbing Tips
The word green has become synonymous with environmental friendly products and processes. With the rising trend of going green by using these products and processes, why not give a thought to your plumbing fixtures too. So take a bold step and make your plumbing fixtures green by following these simple tips:
- Fix any leaks in the faucets, pipes or any other installation: do you know that a single leaky faucet can waste almost over 20 gallons of water a day? So it is a good idea to find one and fix it. In fact fix all the leaks wherever they are whwther it is a leaky bath tub, pipes or sink. If you are not sure about their presence, call in for a professional plumbing service and conserve water.
- Use insulation for pipes: this works especially for areas that where temperature drops very low. The pipes on the exterior walls suffer a loss of heat hence it takes longer for hot water to reach the faucet once you turn it on thus wasting water. A good idea would be to insulate the pipes on the exterior walls and if you can afford, go ahead and remove these exterior pipes.
- Efficient toilets: choosing a toilet with a small tank can save lots of water. Moreover, there are toilets that come with a dual flush feature so that you can choose between a full flush and a half flush in order to conserve water.
- Efficient showers and faucets: many good fixture shops have showers heads and faucets with low flow. Whenever you put them on, less amount of water comes out which clearly saves water and money.
- Tank less water heaters: these heaters heat only the amount of water that you need instead of continuously heating a tank full of water like traditional water heating systems. This new system does not have a tank thus conserving the energy by heating a little amount of required water.
