<\/a>Bathroom Water Conservation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Because bathroom water conservation is so easy to do, you can get your entire family or roommates involved too! Here are the three easiest and most cost-effective ways to cut back on water consumption in the bathroom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install Low-Flow Plumbing Fixtures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Shower heads and faucets are plumbing fixtures that are notorious for wasting water. The flow of water ejected from these fixtures is so strong that the average showerhead or faucet can fill a 5 gallon tank every minute. You can reduce the amount of water your plumbing fixtures emit by installing low-flow showerheads or low-volume water restrictors<\/a> in your faucets. These plumbing fixtures can reduce water flow down to two half gallons per minute. Not only does this help the planet by conserving water, but it also significantly reduces your water bill every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it can be really challenging to do after a long day of work or a really hard week, one way you can easily conserve water in the bathroom is to reduce your bathing time. Cut back on how long you run a shower before you get in, plus how long you take a shower. Also consider ways to avoid leaving the faucet running while you do other things in the bathroom, like brushing your teeth, washing your hands, removing your makeup, or shaving. For instance, use a mug of water to rinse your razor in between strokes, and simply shut the faucet off while you\u2019re scrubbing your teeth or face clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people enjoy a good long soak in a hot bath every once in a while, which is perfectly fine. But if you are someone who frequently takes baths, you might want to reconsider your options. The average bathtub holds and drains between 35 and 50 gallons of water. In comparison, a ten minute shower will usually consume around 25 gallons of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another effective way to conserve water in the bathroom is to have any water leaks repair right away. A dripping faucet can waste a lot of water, more than you would think. In fact, a leaky faucet<\/a> can waste up to 20 gallons of water a day. Think about how this could impact your water bill each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have some bathroom or household plumbing issues that are wasting water and money?<\/strong> Contact Weilhammer Plumbing Company<\/a> at 317-784-1870 for licensed and insured plumbing repair services in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>, and its surrounding counties.
