Toilets

• A faulty piston ball or a folding valve can weaken water by continuously draining and adding the tank. To test, drop a tablet with dye tracking or a small amount of food coloring in the tank and wait 5 minutes. If the coloring water seeped into the bowl, you may have a leak and have to replace the defective part.

Tap

• A leaky tap can waste more than 3,000 gallons water per year. If you notice a drop, try to close it. If it drips further, the washing machine may have to be replaced.
