For most homeowners, whether to insulate a home’s hot water pipes is a fairly easy decision. When you can purchase effective insulating pipe sleeves for a few feet per dollar, it’s hard to resist the simple energy savings that will pay off for years. But not all homeowners know about this easy efficiency booster -- or the reasons why you might want to insulate your cold water pipes, as well.
Some Like It Hot
First, the obvious -- insulating your hot water pipes will help keep your hot water hot. If you have a traditional tank water heater, you’re already paying to keep that hot water on standby. With the benefit of pipe insulation, the hot water waiting in your pipes will cool down slower.
Quality insulation can add a few degrees to the actual temperature of household water, so if you like things especially hot when you’re showering or washing the dishes, pipe insulation is well worth the expense. This also helps save water, because it will shorten the time it takes for the water coming out of your fixtures to reach your desired temperature.
And if you hear a loud knocking sound when you run your hot water, that could be your metal pipes expanding with the flow of heat. This clanking noise can be a nuisance for some homeowners, and pipe insulation can help quiet things down.
What About Cold Water Pipes?
There’s no heat to preserve in your cold water pipes, so it might not immediately make sense to insulate them. But if you’re already going to the trouble of insulating your hot water pipes, adding insulation to their cold water compatriots should only add a few bucks in materials to the average house -- and there are some real benefits.
If your cold water pipes run through any area of your home that lacks climate control -- whether it’s an unfinished basement or a section of pipe exposed to the outdoor elements -- you run the risk of pipes freezing in winter. This can cause a big mess and an even bigger repair expense. But cheap, simple insulation can help prevent this from happening.
During the summer, these sections of pipe may also be exposed to outdoor heat, which may transfer to your cold water supply. Unless you want your cold water tap pouring warm or even hot water all summer, pipe insulation can help you here, as well.
Another benefit of insulating your cold water pipes is avoiding condensation. In high-humidity environments, metal pipes filled with cold water will become covered in condensation. As these droplets collect, they’ll fall onto whatever lies beneath. If you’re storing priceless keepsakes in your basement beneath uninsulated water pipes, this moisture could produce destructive results.
DIY or Full Service
Installing your own water pipe insulation is often as simple as purchasing sleeves, cutting them to length and securing them in place with tape. But some hard-to-reach sections of pipe may be a job for a licensed, experienced plumber. If you’re getting into this project and discover you need the expertise of a pro, get in touch with you local plumbing professionals today.

There are many factors to consider when choosing which type of window treatment you’d like to get for your home. Here are three of them:
Image Source: Flickr
Style
Unlike many years ago, window coverings are available in a variety of different styles. Your choices include wood blinds, cellular shades, woven wood shades, pleated shades, shutters and draperies. While many people will choose the same wood blind or shade for every room in their house, that isn’t always the best idea.
A better idea is to consider what each room is being used for and then choose your window coverings based on that.
For example, bathrooms and bedrooms require more privacy then let’s say your kitchen. For those rooms you should look for coverings that room-darkening features. Not only will that help to block the sun on those summer mornings when you want to sleep in but the sun rises at 6 AM, but it will also block anyone from seeing into your room. Another benefit is that in the summer the room-darkening shades will block out the heat and the winter they will block out the cold. Source: SheBudgets
Budget
Are you outfitting just one window or the entire house? You may consider spending more on certain windows and scaling back on others. Window treatments are priced by size, so expect larger treatments to cost more. Custom sizes and specialty fabrics, patterns, and features also add to the cost. Source: GoodHousekeeping
Window’s Exposure
Windows that are facing towards the east or south can produce large amounts of heat and sunlight. This can cause furniture, carpeting and other areas of the home to fade if some level of sun blockage is not used. Source: AngiesList

Your overall showering experience is affected by many factors. One of these is the type of showerhead you’re using. Check out four common showerhead types below:
Standard Wall-Mount Showerhead
The most economical option, standard wall-mount showerheads can be adjusted slightly by moving the shower neck. Models that offer varying spray types fit the needs of most users. Source: BHG
Hand-Held Showerhead
A hand-held showerhead is connected to a long hose and it sit in a cradle when it is not in your hand. Handheld showerheads can be used as a fixed shower head but when taken off the cradle they can be used for much more, like bathing pets, washing children, and even for cleaning the tub.
Hand-held showerheads are available in many different lengths of hose but to meet ADA compliance they must be at least 84” long. The longer the hose the more convenient but it could get in the way of the tub. Hoses between 60” and 72” work well for the average home. Source: Plumbing.About
Ceiling-Mount Showerhead
The ceiling-mount or top-mount showerhead is installed on the ceiling. The spray of this type of showerhead is reminiscent of rain, as water comes from directly overhead. Ceiling-mount showerheads come in many shapes and sizes. Some models can also be mounted flush to the ceiling, which is great for bathrooms with low ceiling heights. Source: Property24
Aerating Showerhead
By mixing air with water, these showerheads form a misty spray to make the flow feel more substantial. Laminar-flow showerheads form individual streams of water instead. On the models we tested, aeration cooled the water from 5 to 15 degrees F on its way from the showerhead to where it would hit your back. Laminar-flow showerheads may cost a little more, but they save energy by maintaining the water temperature better. And they don’t create as much steam and moisture, a plus especially if you live in a humid region. Source: ConsumerReports

Today is World Water Day, a day to emphasize the importance of freshwater access and advocate for sustainable freshwater management around the globe. There are currently more than 663 million people who lack a supply of clean, safe water near their homes, and solving all of their water shortages is an enormous task. But you can recognize World Water Day in a significant way just by making a few eco-friendly changes around your home.
World Water Day has been observed every March 22 since it was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. Each year has a different theme, and the 2017 theme is “Why Waste Water?”, a campaign focused on the benefits of reducing and reusing wastewater.
Trash to Treasure
Globally, more than 80 percent of wastewater from residential, municipal, industrial and agricultural sources is released back into nature with little or no treatment. Whether it’s dumped into a waterway or seeps into the groundwater, this improper disposal contributes to pollution and the spread of disease.
During World Water Day 2017, the United Nations is emphasizing one of its sustainable development goals -- by 2030, the UN aims to “improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.”
Because wastewater that is treated, managed and transported safely can be its own sustainable source of usable water, the UN is working to spread the message that wastewater can be a resource rather than a burden.
Here in the United States, the organization’s message is for individuals to start using more recycled greywater at home, for cities to establish wastewater treatment and recycling systems, and for industry and agriculture to find ways to recycle their wastewater where they work.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The easiest way to get into the spirit of World Water Day at home is to salvage and reuse some water. And if you own a bucket and a shower, a low-tech solution is at your fingertips. Just put the bucket in the tub the next time you take a shower, and reuse whatever you catch. It’s safe for watering plants, and you can even use it to flush the toilet.
There are other ways to collect and reuse water around your home. Consider rerouting your washing machine discharge line into a basin, or setting up rain collection barrels at the bottom of your gutter downspouts.
And if you really want to get invested in greywater recycling, look into home water recycling systems. These sophisticated systems can automatically collect water from tub and shower drains, bathroom sink drains and washing machines, transferring the wastewater to an on-site treatment tank. After filtering, that water is used to flush toilets and run garden sprinkler systems.
Looking for even more ways you can reduce and reuse water at home? Call your local plumber for ideas!

When choosing a window treatment, there’s a lot more to consider than just style – you also want your curtains to be functional. If you’re looking to spruce up a room with new curtains or drapes, here’s what you should consider.
Below are 3 important things to consider when buying curtains and blinds:
Image Source: Flickr
Color, Prints and Patterns
A rule of thumb: If you have patterned furniture or bedding (or a very elaborate rug), stick with solid curtains. If you have solid-color furniture or bedding, consider patterned curtains. For a subtle hit of style and energy, go for a small, neutral print, like dots or paisley, which reads like texture from afar. A large, graphic print in a color that relates to the existing decor is daring but can be spectacular. Source: RealSimple
Length and Lining
Before you take out the tape measure, decide how high above the window you’d like the curtains to begin. “Hanging panels higher than the window will give a sense of height to the room,” says Cunningham. Designers often hang curtains about six inches above the window frame, but for a dramatic look, some go higher.
If you plan to use the curtains to shut out the sun, those extra inches around the perimeter of your window frame will also help block out any creeping light. Source: ElleDecor
Blackout Lining
Blackout lining is a must for children bedrooms if you want a good nights sleep. In fact I’d recommend it for any bedroom. TV rooms and home cinemas will also benefit from a blackout lining, especially if you’re likely to watch TV or a film during hours of daylight. There are blackout options for both curtains and blinds. Source: GilroyInteriors

There are many factors to consider when choosing a bathroom fixture, especially one that is as extremely essential as a toilet. In this article, you will learn more about three types of toilets based on their flushing systems, and each of their pros and cons.
Gravity-Feed Toilets
As their name implies, these toilets have a flush valve that relies on gravity. Water drops from the tank into the bowl to move waste down the drain. They can work with as little as 10 pounds per square inch of household water pressure. Models with a beefy 3- 3 1/2, even 4-inch wide flush valve delivered more thrust in our tests than did those with a 2- to 2 1/2-inch valve. You can ask to see the manufacturer’s specifications for the flush valve.
Pros: Gravity-feed toilets flush more quietly than pressure-assisted models. Many we tested worked every bit as well as the best pressure-assisted models, and with far less fanfare—an advantage in close quarters.
Cons: Models that perform comparably to pressure-assist units typically cost as much, while lower-priced models may not be able to properly displace waste. Source: ConsumerReports
Vacuum-Assisted Toilets
This is the latest flush innovation. The porcelain tank contains a vacuum tank that’s connected to the trapway (the large tube that carries water out of the bowl). When the toilet is flushed, water flowing out of the tank creates suction in the vacuum tank and trapway to help suck waste out of the bowl.
Pros:
Easy repairs. Vacuum-assist toilets use the same type of fill and flush valves as gravity models, so they’re simple to repair.
Strong flush. Vacuum-assist toilets do well in lab tests. In clearing solid waste, they outperform most gravity types, but don’t do as well as many pressure-assist models.
No sweat. Like pressure-assist models, vacuum-assist toilets store water in an inner tank, so condensation won’t form outside the porcelain tank.
Cons:
Cost. Vacuum-assist models cost slightly more than some gravity models.
Limited choices. There is currently a limited selection of vacuum-assist toilets from major manufacturers. Source: FamilyHandyman
Pressure-Assisted Toilets
Pressure-assisted toilet works with a combination of high pressure air and water. As the water in the storage tank fills, the toilet is also charging air in the compression tank. Once the water is full, it is released with the power of the air behind it. Because of the high force of air, it cleans the bowl and pipes more efficiently. Source: DoItYourself
