Have you got a leaky loo?
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.
Feeling flush?
If your loo has a dual flush, remember to use the smaller one for little jobs to save water and money.
