The
water sustainability training and accreditation program for plumbers launched
by the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) receives appreciation from the
plumbers’ community of Canada. It focuses on the various conservation solutions
that can be applied in their practice. On the other hand, as a homeowner, there
are several ways for you to transform your old-fashioned plumbing system into a
green one.
Tankless Water Heater
As
the name implies, a tankless water heater does not require a large tank filled
with water to provide heated water to a home. Depending on the model you use,
you may have to wait a bit longer for the water to become hot, but the upside
is you no longer have to worry about your water heater breaking or leaking.
Also, your water and electricity bills will be lower because this device only
heats up water whenever necessary.
Home Leak Monitor
A
home leak monitor is designed to let you know if one of your pipes springs a
leak. This makes it easier to locate the problematic pipe, thereby quickly
preventing a small problem from becoming a larger one.
High Efficiency Toilets
High
efficiency toilets require less water to do their job, allowing you to save
water significantly. Since they use less water, your water bill will be lower
as well. These environmentally friendly options are labor intensive and may
call for specialised tools or equipment, so it’s best to leave the task of
installing them in the hands of certified professionals.
