Did you know that the United States wastes a trillion gallons of water a year on dripping faucets, running toilets and other leaks? Or, that a family of four uses 400 gallons of water every day? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, leaks can account for, on average, 10,000 gallons of water wasted in the home every year, which is enough to fill a backyard swimming pool!
The EPA suggests to keep your home leak-free by repairing dripping faucets, toilet valves, and showerheads. For these repairs, try using Amazing GOOP Household, which is perfect for fixing loose seals and more.
