What does Green Plumbing Mean?
Green plumbing is a whole new way of conserving energy as it relates to water usage.
Toilets use 26% of Water in the Household
New low flow toilets have a powerful flush and save 70% or 3.72 gallons of water over their 5-gallon counterparts.
Leaks use 14% of Water in the Household
It's hard to believe that 14% of the water used in households is due to leaks in the plumbing. Toilets are the biggest culprits, with faucets and showers being close behind.
Most shower heads will drip for up to two hours before stopping. To measure the amount of water your shower head is wasting, put a bowl under the shower head or tub spout after a shower. If it has more than a cup and a half of water in it, you have a problem! All of these leaks can cause huge water bills. If you fix a drip like this, however, you can save up to 391 gallons a year.
