Did you know that you can have a big impact on water and energy use by upgrading bathroom fixtures in your home?
- Faucets: Installing WaterSense labeled faucets or faucet aerators in your bathrooms could reduce your household’s annual water use by more than 500 gallons and save 70 kilowatt-hours of electricity used for heating the water each year. That’s enough water to do 14 loads of laundry and enough electricity to power your hair dryer for about eight minutes a day for a whole year!
- Toilets: You might also consider upgrading your toilet. Flushing an old inefficient toilet is like flushing twice! Older model toilets use more than twice the amount of water per flush than their new, high-efficiency counterparts. In fact, it only takes 37 flushes of an older toilet—a little more than a week’s worth for one person—to use as much water as 100 flushes of a WaterSense labeled toilet.
