Are you looking for inspiration for your home improvement projects this winter? Consider switching your water fixtures to WaterSense fixtures. Switching to low flow fixtures helps conserve thousands of gallons of water per year! Not to mention, saving you money on your energy bill.

All low-flow fixtures certified by the EPA are designated “WaterSense” fixtures.

  • Showerheads 1.5 GPM or less
  • Kitchen Faucets 1.5 GPM or less
  • Bathroom Faucets 0.5 GPM or less
  • Toilets 1.2 GPF (gallons per flush) or less

The payback period for WaterSense fixtures is short—around less than a year! Imagine how much water you are saving in that amount of time.

Replacing old, inefficient faucets and aerators with WaterSense labeled models can save the average family 700 gallons of water per year, equal to the amount of water needed to take 45 showers.

This is an easy way to make a difference in water consumption. Switch your shower head and sink aerators and reduce your water use by 30%. Watch this video from the EPA to see how:
