Five Simple Ways to Cut Down Your Water Usage
Test Toilets For Leaks
In the fight to conserve water, it’s best to know if there are any leaks in your San Antonio home, especially a silent leak that may be coming from your toilet. Toilets can leak, and unless there is puddled water on the floor, many don’t know that their toilet has a problem.
A good way to detect a toilet leak is by dropping some food coloring in the tank to see if it leaks out into the toilet bowl. Once you see food coloring in the toilet bowl, then you’ll know there’s a leak, and you’ll have to get it fixed.
Cool Off The Kids, And Water The Lawn
When the weather is warm, kids want to get cool by going under the sprinklers. If you have to run the sprinklers, then consider your lawn, and put the sprinklers near a portion of the lawn that needs it the most.
It’s also possible to move the sprinkler around after a while to get several parts on the lawn watered, which then serves two purposes, which is cooling the kids off as well as watering the lawn of your San Antonio home.
Reuse Towels A Few Times Before Washing Them
Towels don’t get dirty because you use them once unless the person didn’t take a shower before using a towel in the first place. Since towels can be reused several times before needing to be washed, it’s best to reuse them to avoid having to constantly wash towels, especially since this means you’ll be saving more water.
Let Pots And Pans Soak
Pots and pans can be a pain, especially when food is stuck on them. Many tend to run hot water over pots and pans to get off grease as well as burned on food that may be sticking to it.
It’s a better idea to let the pan or pot soak in a sink of hot water, instead of running it under hot water, which doesn’t have as significant an effect.
Use Your Garbage Disposal Less
A garbage disposal is great, but garbage disposals use a lot of water as well. The more foods you put down the garbage disposal, the more water is needed to help the food go down.
Try composting your garbage more or using the garbage can, instead of constantly using the garbage disposal, which can save on water usage.
