I stumbled across something kinda surprising today—did you guys know that toilets alone can account for nearly 30% of household water use? I mean, that's a lot of water literally flushed away every day. Anyway, turns out there's this simple trick of placing a filled water bottle or brick in the toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush. Sounds kinda weird, I know, but apparently it can save gallons of water per day without affecting the flush quality much.
Got me thinking about other easy plumbing tweaks or home hacks that can cut down on waste and maybe even save us some cash on the water bill. I'm all ears if anyone has tried stuff like this or has other neat little plumbing tricks up their sleeve.
"placing a filled water bottle or brick in the toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush"
I've heard about that trick before, but honestly, I'd be careful with bricks—they can crumble over time and mess up your plumbing. Maybe try something plastic instead? Has anyone tested this long-term?
