Water Saving Week is a great time to start thinking about the water you use. So what else can people do to help? There are a lot of very simple and easy things that everyone can do to be Water Smart and reduce the amount of water they use without enjoying it less. For example, one minute less in the shower each day could save around 3, litres around 40 baths of water each year, which would save money on your water and energy bills too.

A leaking flapper can waste up to gallons of water per day.
A leaking flapper should be replaced as soon as it is detected. When possible, use the manufacturer's recommended flapper, or a universal flapper if an exact replacement is not available. If you are not comfortable making this type of repair, a local plumber can make the repair for you.
The LeakAlertor will let you know when the toilet is running, often before you leave the bathroom. The will continuously beep and flash the red lamp until the flapper is closed and the water begins to refill the tank. The will automatically return to normal operation once the tank begins to refill.
Early detection of a leaking flapper is critical to reducing the amount of wasted water and reducing your water bill. Often times your first indication of a leaking flapper is a high water bill.

SWMBO claimed that it was going to drive up our water bill. It's still on the list, and I find it offending to see it leak, but she sees that other items can come first. Reply to Michael Baugh. Thanks for the help. I am figureing that it is right. The Toilet must have run full blast on the 6, gallon day. David Gale Contact options for registered users. Reply to David Gale.

I have a hearing problem so I did' not hear any water running. Is that really possible? Reply to Bill. Frank Contact options for registered users. Reply to Frank. ItsJoanNotJoann Contact options for registered users.
