10 Ways to Make Earth a Better Place

​As you can imagine water is a major part of our business here at Metro-Flow Plumbing, so in celebration of Earth Day we would like to talk about water conservation efforts and how each of us can do our part to make the Earth a better place. Make sure to stick around until the end to hear about Metro-Flow’s Perma-Liner™ system, a new method for replacing the pipes running through your yard with minimal excavation!

So what can we do? Who has the time for this? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions then you’ve come to the right place. There are very simple ways of pitching in the global effort to conserve clean water around our very homes. Some of these were second nature to us and some of them surprised us as well!

In the bathroom

• Close the water while you’re shaving or brushing your teeth until it’s time to rinse off.
• Take shorter showers or opt to take a bath instead. We use far less water taking baths than we do taking showers.
• Use an empty soda/pop bottle with sand or dirt in it and close it tight. Then put this in your toilets water tank. The dirt will weigh it down and your toilet won’t fill up with as much water per flush. This can save gallons of water a day, especially if you have a big family.​​

In the laundry room

• This one is simple enough, only wash clothes when you have a full load ready to go. Small, frequent loads will use more water than needed over time.

In the kitchen

• Like your washing machine, wait until you have a full load of dirty dishes before using your dishwasher. Smaller dirty dish loads made frequently will use more water over time. 
• When you wash vegetables, make sure to shut the faucet off while you clean. Only open it back up to rinse. The same thing goes while you’re washing dishes by hand.

In the yard

• Plant trees and plants that don’t require much water. There are many great plants one can choose from that aren’t the usual cacti you’re probably thinking of and they will spruce up your yard quite nicely.
  
• Water your lawn when needed and only during the cool parts of the day. Make sure you deep soak your lawn, so water reaches down to the roots. A light sprinkle over the top will just evaporate as the sun comes out and not do anything.​

Perma-Liner™

Talking about lawns, this leads us to one of our new services here at Metro-Flow! We are proud to show you our Perma-Liner™ system. A new way of replacing damaged or dirty water pipes running through your yard with minimal excavation.
