Innovation Construction's Water Saving Tips
|
Low-flush Toilet Replacement: Conserve water and be eco-friendly by using only 1.0 or 1.28 gallons of water per flush. Low-flush toilets use approximately 38 gallons less of water each day than normal toilets. Saving water = saving money.

|
Low-flow Showerhead: By replacing a low-flow showerhead, you can save money, water, and sewer charges. You can reduce water consumption and water heating costs by as much as 50%. Old showerheads deliver 5 to 10 gallons per minute (GPM), whereas new showerheads are water efficient, delivering 2.5 GPM or less without losing water pressure.

Repair Leaks: Check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks. Even a small drip can waste hundreds of gallons per month.

Appliance Replacement: Replace old appliances to more energy-efficient and eco-friendly appliances. It not only gets you to a green lifestyle, it reduces your utility bills. Here are some major appliances you may want to replace:
- Refrigerator
- Washer
- Dryer
- Water heater

|
Single Point Tankless Water Heater: Provide water at a preset temperature, so it will reduce or eliminate standby losses. It is compact in size and it provides warm water at remote points of use. Less water is wasted while waiting for warm water to reach a remote faucet.

|
Hot Water Recirculating: This system deliver hot water to fixtures quickly without waiting for the water to get hot. A recirculating pump rapidly pulls hot water from the water heater while simultaneously sending cooled-off water from the hot water lines back to the water heater to be reheated. This system conserves water and can save energy.
