water bills too high…. water radiators?
I’ve lived in my house for 2 years now and have always felt the water bills seemed high. So recently I did some investigating and calculated i was using 66 gallons per day (based on my bills) In addition i read my water meter one week ago and again today. According to this monitoring, im using 85 gallons per day. I checked and it only takes 30 gallons when i shower. So I’m wondering what could be causing all the extra water use. I do have those old style radiators that run water thru them. However it is still summer and I am not heating the house. does water still get pumped through these radiators. maybe I should turn the valve off during the summer? I’m not ever sure that valve will turn?
No, I believe the water radiator recycles the water for the most part. There may be a hidden leak somewhere, or a leaky faucet…you’d be shocked as to how much water loss a simple drip….drip….drip creates over the day. Also, I think the toilet uses an average of 2-4 gallons to flush.
Good luck!!
