Eco-Friendly Water Use Tips 

Choose Efficient Electrical Appliances

Many household appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines, consume substantial water during operation. If you want to upgrade or purchase new appliances for your household, consult a professional plumber to ensure you choose energy-efficient models. Modern systems use advanced technologies to minimize water usage while maintaining optimal performance. Look for appliances with the Energy Star label, showing eco-friendly features and reduced water consumption. This also goes a long way to reduce the rate of damage and frequent plumbing repair service calls. 

Use the Toilet Responsibly

Toilets are one of the most significant sources of water usage in homes. Older models can consume up to 6 gallons of water per flush, whereas modern low-flow toilets use as little as 1.6 gallons or even less. Consult a plumbing service to upgrade your fixture to conserve water with every flush. It is advisable to avoid using the toilet as a wastebasket or flushing unnecessarily to reduce water wastage further. If you take precautions to minimize water consumption and your utility costs are higher than usual, contact an expert plumbing repair service to address the problem.

Tent Your Plants or Garden at Night

Watering plants or gardens during the day, especially in hot climates, can cause excessive water evaporation. We recommend watering during the cooler hours of the evening or early morning to minimize water loss and ensure efficient absorption by plants. You can also apply mulch or temporary tents to cover plants overnight, reducing evaporation and maintaining soil moisture levels.
