LEAK$ |
Small, continuous leaks will waste
large amounts of water. In addition, leaks in hot-water
lines will waste heat. Keep all valves and faucets
tight. When a leak develops, replace faucet washers. If
valves or faucets are damaged, replace faucet or valve
assembly.

Trouble in the toilet? |
The toilet can be the
biggest water waster in your house. Try these
tests to see if your toilet is the trouble.
1.
Inlet valve - lets water into the
tank. If you hear a hiss or a squeal,
try adjusting the float first. Then
check this valve - it could need
replacing. If the valve is bad, you'll
find water leaking into overflow tube.
How to fix it: - Get a new inlet valve at your local hardware store
and follow directions carefully. Make
sure you shut off the water supply and
flush the toilet first. |
2.
Float - If the tank is full, but
your water keeps running, pull up on the
float. If the water stops running, you
need to adjust the float.
How to fix it: It may be as easy as bending the float down. But be
careful - sometimes they break. |
3.
Stopper Flat - should fit tightly
over the bottom of the tank. If it
doesn't, the tank will not refill and
you'll have a constant flow of water.
(The food coloring test will show you if
you have a problem here.)
How to fix it: Get a new stopper flap at your local hardware store
and follow directions carefully.
Helpfully. Helpful hint: Make sure the
new flap seats snug on the hole in the
bottom of the tank. |
Food coloring Test - Put food
coloring in the tank water. 15 minutes
later, check the water in the bowl.
If you see the food coloring in the bowl,
you have a leak. |
