There are thousands of ways to promote and support a healthy Eco-system, such as recycling, using chemical-free cleaners, reducing energy consumption, and more. Now, there is new technology and new ideas for \u201cgoing green\u201d with your home plumbing! So if you are motivated toward living a greener lifestyle, take some time and think about making some Eco-friendly changes to your home plumbing. Continue reading for an introduction to green plumbing practices and perhaps start making changes today!<\/p>\n<h1>Pipes<\/h1>\n<p>A great way to have a more Eco-friendly piping system is to insulate them. Properly insulated plumbing pipes promote energy preservation and efficiency. They decrease the amount of heat lost inside the pipe-works as it moves from one point to another. Insulated pipes also support better heat-preservation in hot water heaters, thus reducing monthly utility bills and energy consumption. <\/p>\n<h1>Water Heaters<\/h1>\n<p>Sometimes, an old or defective water heater can reduce your home\u2019s energy efficiency and greatly increase utility costs. Simply by replacing your hot water heater with a more efficient one, you can save money and better support your environment at the same time!<\/p>\n<h1>Install New Showerhead Filters<\/h1>\n<p>You can safely reduce chlorine levels in your home\u2019s showers and baths by installing chlorine filters in your shower-heads. Chemical-free water is safer for nails, hair, skin, allergies, consumption, and more. Although chlorine is used to disinfect water supplies, it can produce harmful byproducts and sediments that are bad for our homes and our bodies. <\/p>\n<h1>Install a Water Softener<\/h1>\n<p>A reverse osmosis filtration system is a great method to eliminating harmful byproducts and sediments in a home\u2019s water supply. Laundry, drinking water, hair, nails, skin, dishes, plumbing piping, and more are all improved and protected with an energy-efficient water softener.  <\/p>\n<h1>Install Low-Flow Fixtures<\/h1>\n<p>By choosing to replace your old shower-heads, faucets, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures with low-flow models can greatly reduce your water consumption. This also reduces monthly water bills!<\/p>\n<h1>On-Demand Circulation Pump<\/h1>\n<p>You can choose to install an on-demand hot water circulation pump in place of a hot water heater. This allows hot water to be ready on-demand, rather than waiting for it to heat up as it runs. This reduces water consumption and utility bills as well. And with insulated pipes, you won\u2019t lose heat inside as the hot water sits.<\/p>\n<h2>Weilhammer Plumbing Co.
