High Efficiency Toilets
Older toilets can use up to six gallons of water per flush, whereas high efficiency toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush. This reduction can save a family of four up to 20,000 gallons of water annually. Upgrading to a high efficiency toilet not only conserves water but also lowers water bills.
Low Flow Showerheads
Traditional showerheads can use between 2.5 to 3.5 gallons of water per minute. Low flow showerheads are designed to use 2.0 gallons per minute or less, reducing water usage without compromising water pressure. This simple upgrade can lead to significant water and energy savings.
Water Saving Faucets
Installing water saving faucets can reduce water flow to 1.5 gallons per minute or less. This decrease can save the average family up to 700 gallons of water per year. These faucets are available in various styles and finishes to complement any bathroom decor.
Pressure Reducing Valves
Many homes have water pressure set higher than necessary, leading to increased water usage and potential pipe damage. Installing a pressure reducing valve can lower water pressure to optimal levels, conserving water and extending the lifespan of plumbing systems.
Dual Flush Toilets
Dual flush toilets offer two flushing options: a full flush for solid waste and a reduced flush for liquid waste. This feature allows users to conserve water by choosing the appropriate flush volume for the situation. Over time, this can result in significant water savings.
Touchless Faucets
Touchless faucets use sensors to detect hand movement, automatically turning the water on and off. This feature reduces water wastage caused by leaving the tap running and promotes better hygiene by minimizing contact with faucet handles.
