Water conservation... is a serious issue. Being Water Limited Water

Here in the United States we use more water per person than anywhere else in the world. The EPA estimates that the average water consumption per person is around 114 gallons a day. While in less affluent country's the average is about 2 or 3 gallons a day! In some areas fresh water isn't even available without carrying it for miles. It's not a bad thing that we have such an abundance, but using this abundance wisely seems to be a matter of common sense. It doesn't seem to make much sense to spend huge amounts of fossil fuel based energy to purify our drinking water only to then flush large amounts of it down our toilets, wash our cars and irrigate our huge lawns.

We can show you how to easily cut your consumption by 70% by applying a few simple techniques that won't cost you very much either. When we look at our impact on the planet, it only makes sense to conserve wherever possible.

EPA quote

"Americans use large quantities of water inside their homes. The average family of four can use 400 gallons of water every day, and, on average, approximately 70 percent of that water is used indoors". That's 146,000 gallons of fresh water a year for the average family of four!

Using this EPA estimate, let's look at how much we can save in the bathroom with just a few simple yet inexpensive changes.

Dual Flush Conversion Kits for existing toilets.

The average family of four uses 112 gallons of water per day to flush the toilet based on EPA estimates. A dual flush kit will save up to 70% of the water used

That's a savings of 28, 616 gallons of water in a year by just installing a Dual Flush Kit in your toilets. QUICK AND EASY

Smart Faucet water flow control for bathroom sinks.

The average family of four uses 64 gallons of water per day at the bathroom sink based on EPA estimates. A Smart Faucet will save up to 90% of the water used.

That's a savings of 21,024 gallons of water in a year by just installing a Smart Faucet on your bathroom sinks. QUICK AND EASY

Water Reuse by means of Greywater recycling

The average family of four uses 120 gallons of water per day for outside irrigation needs based on EPA estimates. Greywater recycling of shower and clothes washing water for irrigation can save 154 gallons per day, eliminating any need for fresh water irrigation of landscape plants. 100%+ Savings!

That's a savings of 43,800 gallons of water in a year by reusing Greywater. REQUIRES SOME PLUMBING SKILLS!

**NOTE: If you use Greywater to flush your toilets you can save another 12,000 gallons of water a year!

So let's review the facts:

Average EPA estimated water usage for a family of four for one year 146,000 gallons
Water that can be saved with a Dual Flush Conversion Kit 28,616 gallons
Water that can be saved with a Smart Faucet water flow control for bathroom sinks 21,024 gallons
Water that can be saved with by reusing Greywater, 43,800 gallons
Water that can be saved by flushing your converted toilet with Greywater, 12,000 gallons
Total average annual water savings by following the techniques above, 105,440 gallons.
That's an annual water savings of almost 73%

And that's Remarkable!

Not everyone is in a position to be able to do all of the changes listed above. But, if you just installed the Dual Flush Kit and the Smart Faucet, the water savings would be 49,640 gallons a year. And the payback is in a matter of a month or two.
