Household Conservation Tips
Every Drop Counts – Small Changes, Big Impact
Start by checking your home for silent leaks. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, while a slow drip under a sink adds up fast. Use your water meter or our interactive tool to see if water is flowing when all fixtures are off — it’s the easiest first step to detecting waste.
Install low-flow showerheads and aerators, only run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads, and set irrigation timers to early morning hours to reduce evaporation. Simple maintenance habits can save thousands of gallons per year and lower your utility bills.
Find It, Fix It, and Keep It Efficient
If your water bill suddenly spikes or you hear water movement when everything is off, you may have a hidden leak. Our partner division, The Leak Authority, specializes in pinpointing slab, irrigation, and fixture leaks using advanced acoustic and tracer-gas technology — preventing structural damage and unnecessary water loss.
Once leaks are repaired, consider upgrading to smart valves and monitoring devices like the Moen Flo® to track your daily water use and receive alerts in real time. Prevention and awareness are the foundation of sustainable water conservation.
Outdoor & Landscape Conservation
Smarter Watering for Yards and Gardens
Outdoor irrigation is often the biggest source of water waste. Inspect sprinklers monthly to make sure they aren’t overspraying sidewalks or driveways, and check for leaks at each valve or head.
Install a smart irrigation controller that adjusts schedules automatically based on weather and soil moisture. Group plants by watering needs, and replace grass with drought-tolerant ground cover or native species where possible.
A well-tuned irrigation system can reduce outdoor water use by up to 50%.
Appliance & Fixture Efficiency
Upgrade to Save Thousands of Gallons a Year
High-efficiency fixtures and appliances can make a huge difference. Replace toilets manufactured before 1994 with WaterSense-labeled models that use less than 1.28 gallons per flush.
Choose ENERGY STAR® dishwashers and washing machines—they use 25–35% less water and energy.
When replacing water heaters, consider hybrid or recirculating systems that minimize wait time and wasted water. Combine these upgrades with regular leak inspections to keep your system efficient year-round.
💧 WATER MONITORING DEVICES
Smart Monitoring for Every Property
See What’s Flowing — Even When You’re Not Home
Smart water monitors are one of the most effective ways to prevent damage and track your usage in real time. Devices like the Moen Flo, Phyn Plus, and StreamLabs Control connect directly to your plumbing and alert you at the first sign of unusual flow or pressure drops.
These systems pair with smartphone apps, giving you instant insight into your water consumption, alerts for slow leaks, and the ability to shut off your main line remotely. For homeowners or facilities that travel often or manage multiple buildings, this tech pays for itself after a single avoided leak.
Choosing the Right Device
When selecting a water monitor, look for:
- Automatic Shutoff Capability – prevents catastrophic flooding when leaks are detected.
- Pressure & Temperature Sensors – help catch freezing pipes or pressure fluctuations early.
- App Integration & Reporting – allows you to track gallons used per day and set conservation goals.
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Compatibility – ensures reliable alerts even when you’re off-site.
Our team at The Leak Authority installs and calibrates these systems as part of our advanced water-management program, helping homes and facilities qualify for insurance discounts and municipal rebates.
