Summer Plumbing - Money Saving Tips

During the summer months your plumbing system gets used more often than you may think. Using your pool, garden hose, and sprinklers can become costly. Follow these summer plumbing tips that will help save water and money.

Re-use Pool Towels
Hanging towels to dry can save both water and energy by not needing to run the washing machine or dryer.

Prepare Your Home For Vacation
Turn down your water heater when you leave on a vacation longer than 2 days.

Water At Night
Water your yard or garden between midnight and nine in the morning. This will reduce evaporation.  Watering between noon and nine at night wastes more water and energy. Much of the water during this time may evaporate before reaching the roots.

Replace Shower Heads and Faucets
By using low-flow fixtures you'll save water and money, without any difference in water pressure.

Wash Your Car At Home
When washing your car at home, move it to the lawn. You'll be watering your grass at the same time, but make sure you are using soap safe for it.  Turn off the water at the tap or use a nozzle to reduce wasted water when not rinsing.

Utilize Your Dishwasher
Most dishwasher's today are energy efficient and use less water than washing dishes by hand.

Mulch Your Plants
By putting 3" to 5" of mulch around your trees and plants it will help to hold moisture in. You won't have to water them as often thus reducing wasted water and money.
