Even if you are not interested in (or can’t afford) a complete bathroom renovation, a small bathroom remodel might be just what you need. A small bathroom remodel – replacing cabinets, toilets, tubs, and fixtures – will not only give your bathroom a face-lift, but it can save you money, as well.
Did you know that an old, leaky faucet wastes about 50 gallons of water a day and a leaky toilet flapper valve wastes 300 gallons a day? Just imagine how much money you are wasting on your monthly utility bills!
You can save both water and money by replacing your fixtures and installing new, water-saving toilets and showerheads.
Benefits of Water-Wise Bathroom Accessories
- A conventional showerhead is rated to use 3 to 7 gallons per minute (gpm) at normal water pressure (80 psi). A low flow showerhead, that delivers 1 to 2.5 gpm, will cut water consumption by about 45 gallons/day.
- Flow regulators on the shower controls can reduce or stop the water flow when you’re shampooing or soaping.Low-flow faucets designed to federal standards (2.5 gpm at 80 psi) use sensors as well as aerators to reduce water consumption.
- Self-closing faucets are spring-loaded to shut off the faucet a few seconds after the user turns it on.
- Ultrasonic, or infrared-sensor, faucets automatically activate the water flow when hands are detected beneath it and automatically shut it off when the hands are removed.
- New ‘Low Flow’ or ‘High-Efficiency’ toilets only use about 1.3 gallons per flush (compared to 7 gallons per flush for older toilets), and save your family between 8,000 and 20,000 gallons of water per year,
- New low-flow toilets help Americans save over $11 million everyday on their water bill.
- Switching over to water-efficient plumbing fixtures could save the average household as much as $50 to $100 a year on water and wastewater bills.
