A quick hydraulic tip for water conservation

The average Italian uses 60 to 70 liters of water a day for bathing, washing, cooking and other daily activities. Water is a vital resource, and water conservation is an increasingly important issue nationwide. Perhaps you have already taken important steps to reduce your water consumption, from checking leaking taps to avoiding unnecessary flushing, but you will still receive a high water bill every month. At the Birmingham Emergency Plumber, we would like to suggest another quick tip that is often overlooked.

Check the water you use

One of the best ways to promote water conservation is to gain greater control over the amount of water used by the appliances in your home. You can make changes to:

The taps in the sink. Whenever you turn on the sink to wash your hands or wash the dishes, you may be using more water than necessary. A low-flow aerator can fit the faucet to reduce the rate of water coming out of the spout.

Your water pressure. Call your neighborhood water authority to find the water pressure setting on your street. If it is greater than 60 pounds per square inch, it is possible that the plumbing system is being damaged in the long run while using more water than necessary. While not all Birmingham pipes can be changed, a pressure reducing valve can reduce domestic water pressure and preserve pipes.

Reduce waste from daily activities

When the flow of water that comes out of the taps and shower heads is higher than it should be, you may waste water every time you wash your face, brush your teeth or wash your cutlery. By making the simple changes above, you can promote water conservation without drastically altering your daily habits or skipping the morning shower.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.

You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
