  •  
Do not use your toilet as a wastebasket.   Do not flush facial tissue, sanitary products or diapers as they do not dissolve and can clog the lines. Keep a trash container in each bathroom.
 
 
  •  

Testing a Toilet for Leaks:

Check the water level in the tank to be sure that the water is not overflowing by way of the overflow pipe (the pipe in the middle of the tank with a small piece of tubing connected to it).  

 
If water is running into the overflow pipe, adjust the fill valve until the water stops approximately one inch below the top of the overflow tube (there may be a water level mark stamped on the side of the tank).
.
Test the flush valve mechanism by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank. 
Check the bowl after 15 minutes, if the water has changed color, the ball or flapper is leaking and needs to be replaced.

To remove unsightly mineral deposits on your shower head:                         
put one cup of vinegar in a plastic bag and place it over the shower head.      
Hold it in place with a twist tie and let stand overnight. In the morning, remove the bag
and wipe off the mineral deposits with a damp cloth.

  • Why you should have a water conditioner  for your home:

Make your home even more comfortable.   Enjoy a spa-like feeling in your home bath and shower. Your skin will feel softer; your hair will feel silkier. Then wrap yourself in fluffier towels, and relax in the luxury of soft, fresh-smelling sheets.

See the difference

Soft water means improved soap and detergent performance - less detergent, more suds. Your clothes will be cleaner and brighter, and they'll look new longer. Your hair will have greater shine and manageability. Dishes and glassware will sparkle,
and soap scum and lime scale will be a thing of the past.

Taste the difference

Filtering out impurities corrects unusual taste or odor. You'll notice the difference at the tap, as well as in your cooking. Soups, coffee, and juices will taste better.

Pocket the difference

You'll realize substantial savings: no more purchased bottled water; an extended life for your appliances; savings on soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent; and significant savings of time and effort cleaning soap scum and hard water deposits in the bathrooms and kitchen.

Know the difference

Some of the benefits of conditioned water are immediately obvious, such as better tasting water, whiter laundry and cleaner tubs and fixtures. Other benefits are less obvious, such as an end to mineral buildup in pipes, which improves the efficiency of your home's plumbing and appliances. Best of all, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family's water has been treated.
