How do I identify a leak?

Turn your main water supply off and you can hear a distinct sound of water from eg. toilet running
Your water meter reading changes when you aren’t using any water. Do an hourly test without using water to monitor your meter
If you suspect a leak, compare your monthly water bills to give you an indication if more water has been used than normal
Walls and floors can have moist or discoloured areas
If you detect funny odours from floors, walls or near drains and sewers
Your building foundation cracks or earth shifts for no apparent reason
You find warm spots on your floor, particularly on concrete slab floors

How much water is lost through a leaking tap?

A tap leaking one drop of water per second wastes more than 25 L of water a day! That’s over 9,000 L a year!

How much water is used in usual daily activities?
  • A five-minute shower with a standard showerhead uses 100 L of water.
  • A five-minute shower with a low-flow showerhead uses 35 L of water.
  • About 75% of indoor home water use occurs in our bathrooms, and toilets are the single largest water users. Toilets use over 40% more water than needed!
  • Only 10% of our home water supply is used in the kitchen and as drinking water but a whopping 65% of it is used in the bathroom.An automatic dishwasher uses 40 L of water, compared to dishwashing by hand, which uses about 35 L.
  • A traditional washing machine uses 130 to 250 L of water to launder a large load.
  • In the summer, lawn and gardening watering can increase the demand for water by more than 50%.
  • One lawn sprinkler spraying 19 L per minute uses 50% more water in just 1 hour than a combination of 10 toilet-flushes, two 5-minute showers, two dishwasher loads and a full load of clothes!
  • Using a bucket of water to clean the car instead of the hose saves about 300L of water…each time!
Do we need to clean the water pipes when we have a water purifier at home?

The main function of the water purifier is to filter matters in the water pipe. Standing tap water forms toxic elements and bacteria in the pipes. Regularly cleaning water pipes can remove the dirt and bacteria on the pipe walls and extend the life span of the filter cartridge. Therefore it is necessary to clean the water pipes before installing the water purifier and when replacing the filter element.

Does it help to only clean home water pipes without cleaning the main water supply pipe?

The main water supply, due to its fast flow speed and high pressure, has played a role of cleaning the pipe wall. However, the tap water at home is static for a long time and flows at low pressure, so that it is easier to produce algae, bacteria and heavy metals, and iron.

Will the pipe burst during the cleaning process?

A new generation of cleaning technology is used to generate a spiral pulse mixed by water and vapor, to wash out and peel off whatever is attached to the pipe walls. The cleaning pressure is equivalent to the normal tap water pressure
