So last night I had this weird dream where my kitchen sink was literally spitting out dollar bills every time I turned on the tap. Funny at first, but then it got kinda creepy, you know? Like a plumbing ghost trying to remind me how much money I'm flushing away. Got me thinking today about how much water and energy I'm probably wasting without even realizing it. Anyone got ideas or stories about making their plumbing less of an energy vampire?
Interesting dream, but honestly, the idea that your plumbing is a big energy vampire might be overstating things a bit. Sure, leaks and inefficient fixtures can waste water (and money), but the kitchen sink itself usually isn't a major energy drain compared to heating systems or appliances. Still, if you're concerned, swapping in a low-flow faucet or checking under the sink for hidden leaks can help. I did that last year—found a slow drip that'd probably been wasting water for months... surprisingly satisfying fix.
Had a similar "haunted sink" experience when I moved into my place. Thought the water bill was just high because, you know, adulting... Turns out there was a sneaky leak under the bathroom vanity. Quick fix, lower bills—felt like a plumbing superhero for about five minutes.
