Water conservation tips

water_conservationI was talking to someone earlier this week about latest new technologies that you have in your home to help you conserve water and to make it more efficient. One of the things that they were complaining about is waiting it for what it seems like 5 minutes in the morning for all of the cold water to come out of the shower before you can get in. What a waste of water just going down the drain!

What a huge waste of time. Everyone needs that extra 5 minutes in the morning. I don’t care who you are!

There are a couple of different features. You can even use your existing water heater. There is a water pump. It is a circulating pump that you can set to come on in the morning before you get up. It circulates the hot water through the pipes so that when you get up in the morning and you turn that shower on, boom! You have hot water. Nothing wasted down the drain; you are ready to go.

Not that we want to waste water but you’ll never run out filling up a big bathtub.

Plumber St. Augustine Tips

I had a friend come up and ask me the other day:

“Hey, you are a St. Augustine plumber, I need to replace all the toilets in my house and I want them to be elongated and  save water. So what is the best toilet for my money?”

I recommended getting an air power assist toilets. They have an air tank in the water tank area. When the water refills the tank it pressurizes the air tank inside.  When you flush this toilet it literally blows the stuff down the drain and uses a fraction of the water.
