If you’re remodeling a bathroom or making upgrades around your home, it might be time to get new plumbing fixtures like sinks, toilets, and showerheads. Today’s products use less water than older models without sacrificing function or quality. Here’s why you should prioritize these low flow or water-efficient products when changing up the fixtures in your home.

Why You Should Install Plumbing Fixtures That Save Water

1. Save Money

When extra water comes out of home fixtures, you end up paying more on your utility bill than necessary. Limiting the amount of water to just what you need can add up savings over the long run. The EPA estimates that replacing bathroom fixtures with more efficient models can pay for itself within one year.

2. Support the Environment

The more water you use in your home, the less is left for lakes, rivers, and streams. Additionally, water treatment facilities expend extra energy and resources to clean and process all of it. Reducing your usage to just the amount you need leaves more water for natural bodies and lessens energy use at treatment facilities.

3. Raise Property Value

Eco-friendly fixtures are the wave of the future. If you make those upgrades in your home, anyone who moves into your home doesn’t have to spend their hard-earned money on those fixtures. They’ll also feel good about buying a home with reduced utility costs and eco-friendly features, so you can maximize the value of your home if you sell.
