Plumbing in Sydney Tips: Practical Ways to Conserve Water
Water is one of the world’s most precious resources,
especially so here in Australia, where we
experience many periods of drought
As one of the leading plumbing professionals in Sydney, we at GF James Plumbing feel it’s our commitment to provide not only top notch plumbing services such as pipe relining,
but also to offer ways to conserve water.
Plumbing Sydney Tips
The following are some of highly recommended ways to conserve water;
Consider installing a water tank. This doesn’t only help you develop sustainability; it also helps ease the pressure on your town during the long dry season when people are
clamouring for water.
Be Sufficient
Turn off tap while brushing your teeth
One of the most heart-wrenching sights for most resource-conscious people is seeing water unnecessarily going
down the drain. Here’s an interesting study of how much water is wasted when left running while brushing teeth.
When you leave the water running while you’re brushing, water going down the drain amounts to several litres.
Remember that you only need water to rinse, so be sure to turn off tap while brushing. Or, you can catch those running water with a bucket to use for other things such as watering
the garden and for cleaning stuff.
Limit the amount of time spent in the shower
One of the most relaxing moments is when taking a shower. Feeling the water run down on our skin is one of the best feelings there is during those days when we’re
stressed. That’s why there’s a tendency for many among us to take too long in the shower. But the longer we stay in
the shower, the more we use water unnecessarily.
That’s why if you used to take shower for 15 minutes, why not make it 10 minutes next time? The next time you see your water bill, you’d be surprised at how much money
you’ve saved on charges. And there’s tons of other benefits to taking short showers.
Use the cold water wiselyWhile waiting for the hot water to kick in when, you’re
wasting huge amounts of water. Here’s a clever tip: Why not save the cold water to use for cleaning, watering the
plants or even to refill water containers in the fridge?
Regularly check for leaksTake the time to check your water metre. If it’s running
when no one is using any water, chances are, you’ve got some leak. Check taps, sinks and toilets for leaks. Here’s
a cool resource for checking for leaks.
RecycleRemember all those water saved while waiting for the hot water to set in? You can also use those for laundry and for
cleaning stuff. You can also collect water used in the shower with buckets which can be re-used for cleaning the
toilet, the bathroom and for giving the dog a bath.
