Water is getting more precious by the day, but so much of it goes down the drain. Did you know that you can reduce that waste with a hot water circulating pump?
We’re already careful with our water usage and don’t let the water run while brushing our teeth. We buy toilets that use less water to flush. Our showers have flow regulators to use less water. So naturally, it bothers you to turn on the hot tap and let it run…and run…and run before it finally is hot enough to start your dishwasher, fill your sink, or hop in the shower. It’s an unnecessary waste of clean water just going down the drain.
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.
In August of 2010, Habitat For Humanity and Whirlpool Corporation teamed up to ask homeowners how they felt about green living. It might not surprise you, but out of 1,092 respondents nationwide, nearly half of those describing themselves as lower income believed living green was affordable, but felt purchasing a green home would not be.
