7 Water Conservation Tips for The Bathroom

Most of the water used in a house - about 40% - is in the bathroom, but water conservation tips for the bathroom can help you conserve this precious resource.

Being blessed with a steady supply of clean water is something you should never take for granted. The reason is that only about a small amount of freshwater is readily available that we can use for our various needs.

Each American family uses around 300 gallons of water a day. Considering how much water is used daily for washing, showering, flushing the toilet, etc., the statistics are not that shocking.

As many areas around the globe are struggling to get a reliable water supply, it has become crucial to conserve water. And the good news for you is that you can play your part in conserving water with the following water conservation tips for the bathroom.

1-Make Sure to Turn Off the Faucets

A running bathroom faucet wastes almost 2 gallons of water every minute. To lower the water consumption in your house, make sure not to let the faucets run while you're washing your face or hands and brushing your teeth. Also, turn off the faucets after you're done.

It will help you save hundreds of gallons every month.

2-Fix Leaks, Drips, and Bursts

Leaky faucets, pipes, and toilets waste a lot of water. So, try you get the leaks and drips fixed ASAP. It is among the most important water conservation tips for the bathroom. If you can't do it yourself, it's better to call a plumber immediately.

A professional can find the cause of leaks in no time and fix various issues, from the faucet, toilet, and slab leaks to burst pipe repair and even sewer line repair.

3-Say No to Toxins and Harmful Chemicals

Make sure no toxins, especially those in house paint and cleaning solutions flow down the drain, as they contaminate underground water and leave it unfit for consumption. While you could try chemicals to unclog your drains, try using biodegradable alternatives or call a professional to clean your drains. This could save your pipes!

4-Corroded, Clogged, or Leaking Pipes

Remember that clogs in your pipes can also lead to water waste. If that's the case, call a good plumber in your area to clean the clogged pipes since you don't know which pipe might be clogged.

If you have an older house, the pipes might be corroded, resulting in leaks. Your house will have to be repiped if there’s a problem with the plumbing pipes.

5-Check Your Water Heater

It's good to check your water heater from time to time. If your water heater is old or leaking, call a skilled plumber. They will tell you if your water heater or tankless water heater can be repaired or if you have to install a new one.

While long, hot showers are quite relaxing, they also waste a lot of water. So, it's better to take showers for less than 15 minutes. Also, if you're passionate about water conservation, try to avoid baths.
