Okay, Are We Supposed To Go Green – Or Blue?

April 24, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner 1 Comment

American Standard Plumber.American Standard has launched an incredibly insightful and helpful website over the last couple of years called responsiblebathroom.com. While many homeowners are resistant to purchasing low-flow and reduced flow fixtures because of their past performance issues, industry leaders are now embracing this situation by producing superior fixtures at reasonable cost.

They are, however, calling for a ‘bluer’ planet!

For instance, I learned:

Bath vs. Shower: Which is bluer? A five-minute shower uses 10 to 25 gallons of water. A bath uses around 70 gallons. When given the choice between a bath and a shower, the blue choice is the shower.

Well, that’s just fascinating, isn’t it?

Did you know that if every household in the country replaced their old toilet with a high efficiency toilet that uses only 1.3 gallons of water per flush, 900 billion gallons of water would be saved every year?

We CAN make a difference. Call 972-424-6479 to learn about products you can trust to perform and be installed correctly by any one of our team of professional plumbers. Share this post with your friends, too. We make it easy with the buttons on the left! Comments? Please leave them below.
