If you are interested in a bathroom upgrade, it is possible to achieve a modern look and save water. Thanks to the availability of a variety of efficient appliances and fixtures, you can create a low-flow oasis right inside of your home. Due to technological advancements, these items bring a number of benefits without compromising function. At Plumb Level, we are ready to help you take advantage of low-flow products.
Benefits of Installing a Low-Flow Toilet
Your toilet is the one unit in your home that is frequently used and takes a large amount of water to run. A low-flow alternative can bring you a number of benefits.
Save Water. Standard toilets hold a great deal of water. Usually, older units require as much as 6 gallons with every flush. Today's low-flow toilets can work efficiently with only 1.6 gallons per flush. This substantially lowers water consumption.
Save Money. When a person installs a low-flow toilet, a tremendous amount of water is saved, which has the added benefit of lowering their water bill. By installing a low-flow toilet, the average homeowner may save approximately $100 each year.
Save Space. If your bathroom has a small water closet, then a low-flow toilet is the way to go. Since low-flow toilets use less water, they have smaller tanks, which maximizes space and makes them easier to install. It is possible to create an aesthetically pleasing room that isn't crowded and functions well.
Benefits of a Low-Flow Shower Head
Your toilet is the only product in your bathroom causing an increase in your bulls, your showerhead might also be contributing to the problem. Although you may think that a low-flow showerhead will not satisfy your needs for a relaxing shower or will not offer enough water pressure, newer low-flow showerheads have fixed this problem.
Save Money. Most people enjoy a calming shower in the morning or at night. The latest technology has led to a multitude of luxury shower heads with different settings that have a low-flow design without sacrificing function. A low-flow showerhead can decrease water usage by at least 40 percent. Besides cutting water bills, this slashes energy bills. Less water to heat makes a home's water heater work less. This puts money back into your pocket.
Better for the Environment. When the demand for hot water is decreased, less energy is used, which results in reduced carbon dioxide emissions. This is a major help to the environment.
