Here are three ways to make more sustainable Home plumbing:
- Install low flow fixtures – Consider a low-flow showerhead and combine environmental responsibility with a smart financial decision. Traditional showerheads often use up to 2.5 gallons of water per minute while low-flow alternatives use less than 2 gallons.
- Water-conserving toilets – According to the EPA, water-saving toilets reduce usage by up to 60%, saving almost 13,000 gallons of water every year. The government plumbing standards for low-flow toilets require no more than 1.6 gallons used per flush. High-efficiency models can trim that down to 1.28 gallons or less per flush.
- Energy-efficient water heaters – Outdated water heaters are known for reheating gallons of water in a continuous cycle, using around 86 gallons and a tremendous amount of energy. On-demand water heaters use less than 41 gallons of hot water each day, providing up to 34% greater efficiency than storage-tank alternatives. Switching to tankless water heating at each outlet offers energy-saving possibilities of 27 to 50%. These models also tend to last more than 20 years.
