The trend in our society is moving towards “going green”. People seem to be eating organic more often, cars are becoming electric-based, and plumbing fixtures are becoming more efficient. These fixtures are call low-flow because less water is used during flow and drainage. Two important benefits of low-flow plumbing fixtures are saving money and protecting the environment.
Low-Flow Will Save You Money
Water isn’t free. It costs money every time the toilet is flushed. Showering, cleaning the dishes, doing laundry—these contribute to the monthly water bill. Low-flow plumbing fixtures reduce the monthly water bill. This is because, keeping water flow time constant, less water is being used.
The Environmental Protection Agency shares a surprising statistic regarding water costs. They say an “average family can save 13,000 gallons of water and $130 in water costs per year by replacing all old, inefficient toilets in their home with WaterSense labeled models.”
Low-Flow Helps Protect the Environment
According to Energy Star, “as our population continues to grow, demands on precious water resources increase.” Conserving water protects these resources for future generations. Our country has a finite supply of fresh water. Low-flow plumbing fixtures are part of the solution for conserving water.
