Water Displacement Trick

There are several new toilets with multiple flush options, depending on the amount of water you want to use. If the tank on your toilet is fairly large and you would like to reduce the flush volume try using this trick.

Fill a small plastic container with water and seal the top. Place the container in the water tank of the toilet. Try to keep as much air out of the container when filling it so it doesn't float in the tank. The volume that is used during a flush has now been reduced by the size of the container.

This trick will save you a bit of water with each flush, but it is more important to make sure your toilet isn't leaking from the tank into the bowl. Log into Home Maintenance Tracker to see a tip on testing your toilet for leaks, which can waste far more water.
