1. Install a low flow shower head. Standard shower heads release numerous gallons of fresh water every minute. Low flow shower heads cut back on the quantity used while still allowing consistent and continuous hot water to rain down.

2. Take shorter showers. Be the efficiency you want to see. Time how long it takes to complete your shower, then make sensible decisions to speed up that process without sacrificing enjoyment. The luxury of saving starts with you.

3. Replace toilet parts that cause leakage. It only sounds like a trickle, but leaky toilets waste vast amounts of clean water daily, resulting in high water bills and unexpected headaches. Simply replace a toilet tank’s inner parts so your money isn’t flushed away. read more

The problem: Waiting for hot water! Do you have to wait 30 seconds or more for hot water to arrive at your shower or faucets? If you do, a Hot Water Recirculating System can bring you convenience and savings, giving you hot water instantly at every faucet or shower when you need it.

Energy down the drain! The average family of four wastes up to 17,000 gallons of water each year just waiting for hot water to arrive. A hot water re-circulation system system eliminates waste and provides the luxury and convenience of instant hot water. It pays for itself through reduced water and sewer charges and reduced water heating costs. read more

When disposing of starch-rich foods, always dispose in small amounts at a time and run with cool water!

Keep disposer and water running for 30 to 60 seconds after the waste matter has cleared your drain. The waste still has a distance to go. Cold water keeps the motor, bearings and shredder assembly from overheating. It also lets the waste go down easier because the water is pushing it down.

To be a successful company every organization needs a leader with vision, drive, and a commitment to hard work. Lasiter & Lasiter Plumbing was established by David Lasiter in 1974, but the journey to be an entrepreneur exhibiting those qualities began long before that.
I recently sat down with Mr. Lasiter to hear the details of that journey.

MG: When did you go into the plumbing industry?

DL: I started at age 13 as a worker in the warehouse for Pettyjohn Plumbing during the summer. During my junior and senior years in high school, I went out into the field to be a plumber’s helper through a work program at school. College was a busy time for me going to class from 7a.m. to 12 p.m. then working from noon till my work was done for the day. read more
