Toilet ABC's
- ECONOMIZE
Flush only when necessary. Don't use the toilet to dispose of food, paper towel, diapers
etc.
- REPAIR LEAKS
Check overflow pipes to be sure water isn't draining. Add food coloring to tank
water and check after 15 minutes (don't flush). Color in the toilet probably means you
have a tank-to-bowl leak.
- INSTALL A WATER-SAVING DEVICE
For older toilets, buy or make a device that won't harm your
plumbing such as a toilet dam or weighted plastic jug full of water. Be sure installation
doesn't interfere with operating parts. DO NOT use a brick or rock - they may disintegrate
and cause problems!
