Leaking toilets
A continuously running toilet can waste up to 60,000 litres of water per year, yet toilet leaks often go unnoticed as the water trickles down the back of the bowl.

The Water SaverRoyal FlushFollow these simple steps to check if your toilet has a leak:
- Remove the lid of your toilet cistern.
- Place a few drops of food dye into the cistern.
- Do not flush your toilet for 10-15 minutes.
- If the dye has seeped down into the bowl when you return, then you know you have a leak.
Toilet leaks are often a result of the rubber valve in the cistern deteriorating. You can contact a licensed plumber to fix this for you. As a temporary fix, you may be able to install a toilet weight in the cistern.
It is important to check your toilet for leaks every few months so you can be sure it is not wasting any water.
