Advice to Keep Things
Functional
 Do not ignore any leaky faucet in your home. The issue may not
look big at first, but things will quickly go out of hand if you do not
take immediate actions. Also, you need to bear in mind that it
takes no time to lose gallons of water when you have a single
leaky faucet in your home.
 Think seriously of making hot-water storage tank more efficient by
insulating it properly. It is also a good idea to insulate all those
storage pipes as well. While doing it, ensure that you do not cover
the thermostat or you may run into serious trouble in no time. In
case of oil or gas hot-water storage tanks, you should not insulate
the heater's top and bottom. Avoid covering its burner
compartment and thermostat. When not sure, do not hesitate to
talk to a plumbing and heating expert.
 Make special moves to lower your water bill, and one simple thing
is to opt for non-aerating low-flow showerheads and faucets.
These fixtures may cost you a bit more, but you will end up saving
some good money on your water bill.
