TOILET LEAK DETECTION TABLETS

These tablets offer a simple way to test your toilet for leaks. Lift off the toilet tank lid. Without flushing, place 2 dye tablets (or 10 drops of food coloring) in the toilet tank. Wait 10 minutes. If color appears in the bowl, the toilet has a leak.

 TOILET FILL CYCLE DIVERTER

 The Fill Cycle Diverter directs more water to the tank and less to the bowl during refill. The goal is for the tank and bowl to finish filling in the same amount of time (or as close as possible). Estimated savings are ½ gallon per flush (gpf).

BATHROOM FAUCET AERATOR

 The current plumbing code for residential bathroom faucets is a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm). By installing this high-efficiency aerator, you can cut your water use to 1.0 gpm.

 KITCHEN FAUCET AERATOR

The current plumbing code for residential kitchen faucets is a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm). By installing this low-flow aerator, you can cut your water use to 1.5 gpm.

 HIGH-EFFICIENCY SHOWERHEAD

 The current plumbing code for showerheads is a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm). This high-efficiency model uses only 1.5 gpm and still delivers good pressure.

5-MINUTE SHOWER TIMER

This timer suctions on to your shower wall, and when all the sand has run through, time’s up! Note: This device does not “shut off” the water after 5 minutes, although many parents of teenagers have asked for this feature!

 HOME WATER AUDIT KIT

The kit contains tools to help you determine how much water your current toilet, showerhead, kitchen and bathroom faucets use, and whether installing new, high-efficiency fixtures would help you save water and money. Kit contains a flow bag, drip gauge, toilet leak detection tablets, and a toilet tape measure.

 WATERING GAUGES (package of two)

Use these gauges to measure total rainfall and/or sprinkler output. Place the gauges in an area that you regularly water so it will collect all water, whether from rainfall or irrigation. Keep in mind: Most lawns need 1 inch of water per week. If it rains ¾” in one week, you only need to irrigate an additional ¼” that week.
