NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Creating an eco-friendly
bathroom design no longer means using a showerhead with very little pressure,
or installing a toilet with a weak flush. Bath products manufacturers have
taken great strides to create sustainable products that are not only stylish,
but also offer superior performance and quality.
From our toilets to our tubs, roughly 60% of a home's water consumption
takes place in the bathroom, according to the California Urban Water
Conservation Council (CUWCC). Learn how to incorporate these new, efficient
and green products into your bathroom design -- whether you're looking for a
simple facelift, or a complete remodel.
-- Toilets
Most of the water wasted in American homes comes from toilets.
Thankfully, a new program has been introduced which makes finding an
efficient product easier than ever. A toilet with the WaterSense(R)
label from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certifies that the
product is not only water-efficient, but is also high-performing.
-- Faucets
The new Fina(TM) bathroom faucet collection from ShowHouse(R) by
Moen(R) features soft modern style cues and is WaterSense labeled.
Highlights of the Fina bathroom faucet collection include its high-arc
spout, lever handles and contemporary-shaped base. And while the
faucet itself is remarkably designed, the story inside the faucet is
equally as important. Both the widespread and wall-mount lavatory
faucets incorporate a flow-optimized aerator, allowing the faucet to
flow at a rate of 1.5 gpm, versus traditional aerators which flow at
2.2 gpm.
-- Showerheads
Last year, Moen launched its first Flow-Optimized, Water-Saving
showerhead, which reduces the flow of water to 1.75 gpm (vs. the
industry standard of 2.5 gpm) -- resulting in up to a 30% water
savings. Not only is this savings significant in reducing water
consumption, but using less also helps reduce the amount of energy
required to supply and treat public water supplies. And because Moen's
Water-Saving showerhead's innovative spray formers concentrate the flow
of water, homeowners can still experience a high-performance shower
while reducing the amount of water used compared to standard
showerheads.
