It might seem like a minor annoyance; you have to constantly wake up in the middle of the night to stop arunning toilet. But that small inconveniencecould be costing your family a significant amount of money each year. It’s important to identify the true costs of running water caused by your toilet and resolve the issue quickly and professionally. Within this latest blog, our expert Ottawa plumbers at John The Plumber explain the costs of a running toilet in your home.
Calculations Show Potential Costs
Before you learn how to tackle the problem, it’s important that we first identify the true costs running toilets can have on your pocket book. Consider this!Theaverage toilet flush uses about 13.6 liters of water. Each flush takes approximately 30 seconds to complete, and so a constantly running toilet will use 27.2 liters of water per minute. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. When you multiply 27.2 by 1,440 you get to 39,168. That means, for each day that your toilet is running, you’re using 39,168 liters of water within just that one toilet. Even if you’re paying the average rate of just 0.002cents per liter, that comes to $7.83 per day of water use. If you have a limited home budget, the cost of a running toilet will certainly cause additional financial strain.
