How do I know if I have a leaking toilet?
You can lose up to 100 gallons of water a day from a leaky toilet. Here’s how to test for a leak. Put 5-10 drops of food coloring in the top tank of your toilet and let it sit for 15 minutes without flushing. Check the toilet bowl. If any food coloring is in the bowl, you have a leak. back to top

How can I keep my drains from clogging?
Clogged drains can be costly. One of the best ways to prevent clogs is to pour hot vinegar down a drain followed by a pot of boiling water to help prevent the buildup of daily waste in the pipes. back to top

My toilet gurgles whenever I run water in the sink. What’s going on?
You have a partially clogged drain pipe that is preventing the water going down the sink from flowing freely. The gurgling that you hear is water from the clogged pipe backing up into the toilet. You should get your drain pipe cleaned before it becomes completely blocked and causes enough of a backup that the toilet overflows. back to top

What exactly is a low-flow faucet?
It is a faucet that controls the water flow rate either through flow restriction — narrowing the opening through which the water is discharged from the faucet — or flow regulation — adapting the width of the opening through which the water is discharged from the faucet based upon fluctuations in water pressure to maintain a constant flow rate. These faucets reduce water usage and energy costs by as much as 50%. back to top
