Leaks can account for more than
10,000 gallons of water in an
average home every year - enough
water to wash nearly 10 months'
worth of laundry.
A leaky toilet can silently waste
thousands of gallons in a month. It
could even fill a swimming pool
after a year!
If your toilet is leaking, the cause is
most often an old, faulty toilet
flapper. Replace the whole rubber
flapper, which is inexpensive and you
can do it yourself.
If you do need to
replace the
whole toilet,
look for a
Watersense
labeled model.
This can save you
a lot of money
and the earth aAshley Jonelis
