One leaky toilet can fill 28 bathtubs per month! When it comes to housefild leaks, toilets and faucets are the most common culprits. In fact, one in four toilets is silently leaking. Just one leaky toilet could cost you $100 a year. So remember to take the simple, three-step leaky toilet test.

Saving water in the bathroom
- Use a garbage for trash instead of the toilet
- Make sure toilet flappers and other parts are not leaking (toilet flappers should be replaced every 2-5 years)
- Install low capacity toilets with a tank of 6-13 litres (toilets use more water than anything else in your home)
- Replace showerheads with low-flow models
- Take short showers
- Turn off the tap while shaving or brushing your teeth
