WaterSense® Labeled Bathroom Sink Faucets

Q. "What is WaterSense^®?"
A. WaterSense is a partnership program sponsored by the EPA to promote and easily identify water efficient products. The products that carry the WaterSense label are backed by a third party, independent testing and certification system to ensure the product meet the WaterSense requirements. Generally, products labeled with the WaterSense logo are about 20 percent more water efficient then comparable standard models. WaterSense not only provides a guideline for conservation, but also for quality since the WaterSense label requires the product to perform as well as or better then their less efficient counterparts.

According to the EPA, the average household spends approximately $500 per year on their water and sewage bill. Just by installing WaterSense approved faucets, showerheads and other accessories in the home, that same average household can save close to $200 (approximately) and more than 500 gallons of water per year. But the savings doesn't end there...

Even though it would seems like simply turning on the faucet wouldn't require energy, did you know that it does? In the U.S. the average public water treatment and supply facility will use enough electricity in one year to power more than 5 million homes for the entire year. What does that mean to you? Think about it like this: running your faucet for about 5 minutes uses the same amount of electricity as leaving a 60 watt light bulb on for 14 hours straight. So, when you conserve water you are not only saving our most precious resource, you are also saving energy and money!.
