According to EPA Watersence by, Stephanie Thornton:

1) Get the kids involved: The most effective messengers in today’s “green” movement are often children. If you want to spread the word to parents that it’s time to fix that leak, why not enlist their kids?

2) Get Smart: Did you know that minor household leaks account for more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted annually in the United States? That’s enough water to supply Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico for more than a year! Lean the facts about leaks so you can make the case to customers.

3) Get Online: Get connected with us on FACEBOOK or TWITTER to make sure you don’t waste any water. Since, “The average household wastes more than 10,000 gallons of water each year from leaks.”

January is National Bath Safety Month

As Americans, many of us do not realize that one of the most dangerous rooms in our home is the bathroom, with senior citizens and infants at highest risk of injury. Every day approximately 370 Americans are injured due to bathtub and shower-related incidents, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. National Bath Safety month was established to raise national awareness of the risks and hazards people encounter everyday in their home bathrooms.

We’ve all seen the commercials and know never to leave our kids alone in the swimming pool. However, 43,000 children are injured or drown in baths each year. NEVER leave your children unattended in the bath.

Here are a few other tips to make your bathroom a safer place for you and your family.

#1 Use non skid decals on the floor of your tub and/or shower to avoid slipping. You can also place a rubber bath mat to cover a larger area. Bath mats are easy to clean and suction to the floor of your bath to keep you from losing your footing on the slippery surface of your bath or shower floor.

#2 Always check the water temperature to make sure it is at a comfortable 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent seniors or children from being scalded by hot water.

#3 Place a terrycloth bathmat on the floor at the entrance/exit to your tub or shower. These catch dripping water and keep the bathroom floor dry so there is less risk of slipping on wet tile or laminate. Another option would be to carpet your entire bathroom.

#4 Never use towel bars as railings for getting in or out of the shower or tub. These are not designed to support much weight and may give out causing you to fall.

#5 Do not use lawn chairs or plastic stools as seating in the shower. If you require seating, invest in a very sturdy shower chair that is less likely to deteriorate or weaken in regularly wet conditions

#6 For senior citizens, who have difficulty getting in or out of the tub, you may want to research alternative baths or showers. American Standard has a whole line of walk-in baths with door entry for easier and safer access to the bathtub.

Standard Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters: Which is right for you?

Ah, the age old question, “Standard Water heater or tankless?” Ok so maybe not age old, but close enough. With the housing market being what it is today, there are a lot of new homeowners, as well as old homeowners that are looking to remodel, that are inquiring about what type of water heater to use. Whether you are buying your first home or simply updating or remodeling your existing home, there are many variables to be considered in choosing the best water heater to suit your needs and save you money.

A proper working water heater should be well equipped to provide enough hot water for the number of residents in your household, at the busiest time of day, without increasing your water bill to absurd amounts.

Standard water heaters use a large tank to hold and heat your water. Cold water is fed into the bottom of the tank from your home’s water lines, where a heating element or burner heats the water in the tank from the bottom. As cold water becomes heated, it rises to the top of the tank where the heat-out pipe is located, which sends the water to your sinks and fixtures. Once all the water in the tank is brought up to the desired temperature, the heating mechanism shuts off. If you are considering using a standard water heater, keep in mind, the tank should be large enough to accommodate the number of people in your household.  A forty gallon tank will be large enough for 1 to 3, possibly 4, people but if you have a family of 6 to 8, a 75 gallon tank, or a high recovery 50 gallon tank, will be more suitable for you.

Tankless water heaters are small units, which are usually installed on the side of the house, that only heat the water as you use it. As soon as you turn on a hot water faucet, a mechanism within the device is triggered, heating the water to the temperature specified and programmed into the unit. Because the water heats up instantly, less energy is being used to heat and reheat the same water that isn’t being used. This results in more energy savings for the homeowner. Tankless water heaters are also beneficial for households that have fluctuating numbers of occupants, such as those that often have family in and out of town. Tankless water heaters are also considered to be more environmentally friendly, or “green.” Although this water heater, in particular, is typically more expensive than a standard water heater up front, it can save you money in the long run.

Contact Marlin Services now with any other questions you may have on water heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and heating.  We will be happy to help you select a water heater that will be perfect for you and your family!!

CYBER WEEK SPECIALS!!!

We’re kicking off cyber week by helping you save some money on your plumbing services for the holidays!!!

A house full of guests is the perfect factor to push potential plumbing problems right over the edge into a full-blown holiday catastrophe. If you’re playing host during the holidays, here are a few ways to make sure that your plumbing system is ready.

• Locate your main water shut-off valve and give yourself a refresher course on how to close it. Then make sure everyone else in the house knows as well. It could very easily mean the difference between inconvenience and disaster.
• Before guests come, turn up your water heater to increase its capacity—but make sure you don’t exceed 125°. A scalded guest is not a happy guest. Remember to turn it back down after everyone clears out so you don’t waste energy.
• Make sure you have a trashcan in every bathroom. That way guests won’t be tempted to flush facial tissues, baby wipes, cotton swabs or other items that don’t belong in your bathroom plumbing.
• Check the hoses on your washing machine, as it will probably get a pretty good workout. Look for cracks or loose connections in rubber hoses. You might even consider replacing them with flexible stainless steel hoses. They often come with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.

In any case of emergency, Marlin Services will come to the rescue! Contact us today for a holiday inspection! 602.470.1040

November

Marlin Services Tips & Information  1) Remember when you change from AC to Heat you may get that  ”smell” when you first turn heat on, this is the dust and build up on the heating elements that should burn off in a few minutes. If the odd smell continues for more than a couple of minutes, you will want to call for service. 2)  With all of the dust storms we have had this season it is important that filters are changed and the outside AC unit is clear of debris and build up. 3)  Have you drained your water heater this year? For best performance it is important that the water heater is drained at least yearly. With our Marlin Protection Plan for Plumbing, we will do this for you!
