A continuously running toilet can flush away a staggering 60,000 to 96,000 litres of water each year.

The trouble is, these leaks often fly under the radar as the water quietly slips down the back of the bowl unnoticed.

Uncover sneaky leaks in your loo with these 4 simple steps:
– Remove the lid of your toilet cistern
– Place a few drops of food dye in the cistern
– Don’t flush your toilet for 10 to 15 minutes
– When you return, if the dye has seeped down into the bowl, then you know you have a leak
