Conserving water is good for the environment as well as your pocketbook. To help conserve water follow these tips:
• Don’t use the toilet as a wastebasket. Every flush you eliminate saves between two and seven gallons of water.
• Test toilet tanks for leaks by placing a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If it’s leaking the coloring will appear in the bowl without flushing.
• If you don’t have a low flow toilet, use plastic bottles filled with water and pebbles to displace water in the tank. Be sure not to obstruct the float and never use bricks.
• Don’t run the water while brushing your teeth or shaving.

• Wait 10 minutes between showers to give drains time to do their job.
• Provide a trash bin in bathrooms so toilets are not used as garbage cans.
• Never flush swabs, cotton balls, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, hair or facial scrub pads down a toilet.
• Use fast dissolving toilet tissue.
• Treat slow drains with an organic drain cleaner such as Drain Maid™ featuring BioSmart®.
