Three Simple Plumbing Upgrades that Reduce Water Waste
If you’ve lived in the south for more than five minutes, you know how precious water is regardless of your living situation. Investing in water-saving plumbing upgrades is always a good idea. Here are a few simple ideas that aren’t complicated or prohibitively expensive.
A Faucet Aerator
A faucet aerator is hands down one of the best ways to reduce water waste in everyday home and office scenarios. Furthermore, they reduce noise and mess while creating the illusion of increased pressure. The best thing about aerators is that they’re ridiculously inexpensive considering the benefits that they confer. A high-efficiency aerator can reduce water flow to as little as 0.5 gallons per minute without impacting performance in the kitchen or bathroom.
A Hot Water Recirculation Pump
A tremendous amount of water and energy is wasted each year waiting for the tap stream to heat up. A hot water recirculation system ensures that you don’t have to run the water forever for your faucet outflow to reach the right temperature. If you’re not handy, there Immediate Response Plumbing Technicians can install one for you in just a few hours.
A Dual-flush Toilet
Nowadays, even the most efficient toilets use over 1.5 gallons per flush. Older models are far worse and can suck down 5 gallons or more depending on age and design. A dual-flush toilet allows a home or business owner to slash water waste by giving users options. The latest dual-flush models are roughly the same price as conventional toilets and just as easy to install.
