Could a leaky loo be costing you £100s in wasted water?

Save water and money
Bristol Water are on a mission to help customers save as much water and money as possible.
Leaking toilets are a big source of wasted water in the home – bath-loads can literally go down the loo every single day. They often go undetected, and are particularly common in modern dual flush systems, wasting up to 400 litres of water a day and adding £100s to your water bill. Check your loo today by taking the test.

Take the leaky loo test now
A leaking loo will usually be visible as a trickle or drip of water down the back of your toilet bowl. If you suspect your loo might be leaking, there’s a really simple trick to help you check.
⦁ Place a dry sheet of toilet tissue on the back of the toilet pan, just below the rim.
⦁ Leave the paper for a few hours (make sure nobody uses the loo).
⦁ Check the paper. If it’s wet, damp/wrinkled or torn, you have a leak!
If you discover a leak, you should find a local qualified and approved plumber.
