Water Saving Tips From Our Mira Mesa Plumbing Contractors

We are Mira Mesa plumbing contractors who are passionate about protecting the environment. From the types of materials we use, to the way we dispose of our waste, we do our part each day to become a greener company. As a home or business owner, you may be searching for ideas on ways to go green. A fairly simple way to accomplish this goal is by making small changes to portions of your plumbing system. We've taken the time to provide you with a few tips to get you started on your journey.

- When you're completing a plumbing remodel or install, don't put your pipes in exterior walls. Run your piping through interior walls instead. These areas are typically more insulated and have regulated temperatures. This simple change can reduce the amount of energy consumed and save you money on your utility bills.

- Install a chlorine filter on each shower head in your home. These devices help to reduce or eliminate the amount of chlorine in the water you use. Chlorine can often wreck havoc on the skin, causing dryness and itchiness, and may cause further side effects depending on each person's sensitivity levels.

- Install low-flush toilets. Low flush toilets are an excellent way to decrease the amount of water you use unnecessarily. These toilets can save about 28 gallons of water per day for each person in a household. This is not only great for the environment, but also an excellent way to save on your monthly utility bills.

- Consider having a leak monitoring system installed in your home or commercial building. Leaks are one of the leading causes of water waste, because they often go unnoticed for long periods of time. A leak monitoring system will notify you as soon as a leak has been detected, so that it can be repaired quickly. Call and speak with a member of our team to schedule an appointment for an installation.
