Frequently Asked Questions

Improving water efficiency in your mobile home starts with awareness and a few smart upgrades. First, check for leaks. Because mobile home plumbing often uses plastic piping or flexible tubing, even small pinhole leaks can waste a surprising amount of water. Look under sinks, around the water heater, and behind your washing machine.

Next, upgrade your fixtures. Swap out older faucets, showerheads, and toilets with EPA WaterSense-certified models. These modern fixtures are designed to reduce water use without sacrificing performance. A low-flow showerhead alone can save gallons every time you rinse off.

Appliances matter, too. If your washing machine or dishwasher is due for an upgrade, consider high-efficiency models that use less water and energy. Even a small change in laundry habits—like only washing full loads—can make a big impact.

Lastly, consider landscape water use. If you maintain a garden or lawn around your mobile home, switch to drought-tolerant plants and use mulch to retain moisture. Drip irrigation systems deliver water right to plant roots, cutting down on waste from traditional sprinklers.
