3 Plumbing Upgrades to Save Water
2
Staying on top of your utility costs is crucial
for avoiding any unexpected bills. One of the
easiest ways to avoid unexpected water bills and
reduce water usage is to make a few upgrades to
your current plumbing fixtures. Here are three
easy upgrades to make.

Water Saving Shower Heads

• Did you know the average shower uses 2.5
  gallons of water per minute? By switching to a
  water saving shower head, youll reduce the
  amount of water used by 40, which will make a
  huge difference over time. The less water that is
  being used, the lower your water bill will be.

4
Low Flow Faucets

• The average faucet uses 3-5 gallons of water
  per minute and many individuals leave their
  faucets running for long periods of time, which
  wastes a lot of water. By utilizing a low flow
  faucet, you can cut the amount of water that is
  used per minute in half while also keeping the
  water pressure consistent.

With your new faucet, an average of 1.5 gallons
of water is used per minute with the highest
amount being 3 gallons per minute.
6
Dual-Flush Toilets

• Dual-flush toilets have become increasingly
  popular among commercial buildings and businesses
  alike and have recently made their appearance in
  homes. With a dual-flush toilet, there are two
  buttons (or levers) for flushing the toilet
  compared to the traditional one.

One button is for solid waste, the other for
liquids. They do cost a little more than your
traditional one flush toilet but will save money
in the long run. Ready to make these plumbing
upgrades in your home but dont want to take on
