Your Irrigation System Can Help You Save Water
Do you want to decrease the amount of water your irrigation system expels? Of course you do. Water waste is not only detrimental to the environment, but also your wallet. According to WaterSense, an EPA Partnership Program, leaks account for 10,000 gallons of water wasted in the home every year. On average, this amount is enough to fill a backyard swimming pool. What's more surprising is the amount of water we use outside of the home. Agriculture and irrigation use up to 70% of the water in the world.
For all of these reasons and more, it's important to understand the benefits of water conversation and how your irrigation system can help or hinder the process. Here are a few steps you can do at home to ensure your irrigation system is not wasting essential water.
Repair Leaks as They Occur
According to WaterSense, ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons of water per day. The amount of water leaked from U.S. homes may exceed more than 1 trillion gallons per year, which is equivalent to the annual water use of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami combined.
To ensure your home is not leaking a tremendous amount of water, start with your water meter. Switch off your irrigation system and monitor the system. If the meter is still running, then you have a significant leak. After the test is performed, contact Hulihan Territory for immediate assistance.
Switch to a Drip System
Switching to a drip system rather than a sprinkler system can save up to 20% of the water used. To learn more about the benefits of a drip system over a traditional sprinkler system, contact Hulihan Territory today.
