Thinking of going green when it comes to plumbing products?  If you are in the process of building or remodeling, using green options in your kitchen and bathrooms could really start to pay off!  Many plumbing manufacturers are offering green options for your home.  Toilets are the number one water consumption items in the home.  Adding a new 1.28 gpf toilet would save the average American home up to 25,000 gallons of water per year.  Bathroom faucets with a 1.5 gpm flow rate can save up to 31% on water usage/bills over the course of a year. Installing shower heads that are 1.75 gpm or less could also save up to an additional 30%.  Kitchen faucets are also following the water conservation trend by lowering their flow rate to 1.5 gpm, which is 30% less water than their 2.2 gpm counterparts.  Not only will you save money on your water bill, but you may also qualify for rebates through your local municipality – just log onto your city’s website for more details.  Or contact one of our showroom associates for more information.
