When it comes to plumbing, the right installations and upgrades can make a big difference in how much water your home or business uses. At Plumbing Pros, we’re committed to helping our customers save water, energy, and money through smarter plumbing solutions. With water being one of our most valuable resources, improving water efficiency in homes and businesses is more important than ever.
The right plumbing installations can significantly reduce water waste, lower utility bills, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Whether you’re looking to upgrade fixtures, prevent leaks, or install water-saving systems, Plumbing Pros has the expertise to make it happen efficiently and effectively.
Installing Low-Flow Fixtures
Low-flow fixtures are a game-changer when it comes to water conservation. Showerheads, faucets, and toilets designed for lower water usage don’t compromise on performance, meaning you’ll get the same experience but with less water wasted. For example, a standard showerhead may use around 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM), while a low-flow version uses only 1.5 GPM or less. Multiply that by a family of four showering daily, and the savings start to look substantial. The same goes for faucets and toilets. By making this simple switch, you’re reducing your overall water consumption immediately.
High-Efficiency Toilets
Toilets are one of the biggest water consumers in a typical household, but high-efficiency toilets (HETs) have changed the game. Older models might use up to 7 gallons per flush. Think of all the water saved each time someone flushes! Over the years, this adds up to thousands of gallons saved. If your home or business is still operating with older toilets, it may be time for an upgrade your wallet will thank you when you see the reduced water bill.
Tankless Water Heaters
Water heaters are not only energy guzzlers but can also waste a lot of water. Think about all the times you’ve run the faucet, waiting for hot water to arrive. With a tankless water heater, this is no longer a problem. These systems heat water on demand, meaning you’ll have hot water instantly when you need it, without wasting gallons waiting for it to warm up. Plus, the energy savings from not constantly heating a tank of water is a bonus.
Installing smart leak detection systems in your plumbing can help you catch these issues early. These devices monitor your water usage and can notify you if there’s an abnormal spike, which often signals a leak.
A standard dishwasher from a decade ago might use up to 10-15 gallons per load, while a newer, water-efficient model uses as little as 4-5 gallons.
Similarly, high-efficiency washing machines adjust water levels based on the size of the load, ensuring that no extra water is wasted.
These systems capture rainwater from your roof and store it for non-potable uses, such as irrigation, flushing toilets, or even washing your car. Rainwater harvesting can significantly reduce your reliance on municipal water supplies, making your property more sustainable.
Greywater is the relatively clean wastewater from baths, sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers. Instead of letting this water drain, a greywater system filters and redirects it for other uses, like landscape irrigation.
