<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Great Ways To Save With Green Plumbing Products</h2><br />

<div class='uawarticle'>The carbon footprint. Lowing it is an excellent way to go green. Still there are lots of other ways too, and since protecting the environment has become a priority, people are looking for ways to be green at home. This can be done in many ways, and green plumbing products are offering easy solutions for those who are conscious of the environment and hoping to save money too.<br />
<br />
One of the easiest things to do is to replace old shower heads with newer low-flow devices. Shower heads prior to 1992 flow at more than 5 gallons per minute. Today's regulations point to 2.5 gallons per minute, while low flow devices offer 1.5 gallons per minute. The trick is the low flow option makes less water feel like more. Not only do they save water, but they could also reduce electricity bills because less water must be heated. They are easy to install, and most people can do it alone in a matter of just a few minutes.<br />
<br />
There are other ways to save on water heating too. Some shower heads and built with energy saving in mind. They monitor water temperature and slow the flow rate once the water heats up. The flow is restored to normal by the easy flip of a switch. This means less hot water is being used and, like low-flow systems, they are easy to install.<br />
<br />
Another way to save both water and energy is by installing tankless water heaters. These devices are being used in new home construction more and more due mostly to their energy savings. Unlike legacy water heaters, these systems heat only the amount of water being used. When combined with low flow or temperature controlled shower heads, the energy savings can be significant. As an added bonus, they take up much less space than older tanks and in many cases are simply mounted to a wall placing them off the floor and out of the way.<br />
<br />
Of course using less water is a great idea, and that's where recycling can make a big difference. One way to do this is by making use of sink water rather than passing it through the drain. Systems can first filter then gather this used water and hold it for use in other areas. For example, toilets can be connected to this reservoir and can use the recycled water for each flush saving more than a thousand gallons annually.<br />
<br />
Along with the bathroom, the kitchen can be made green too. Just like low flow shower heads, kitchen sink faucets are made that can offer a 30 percent savings in water usage. Ice makers and other devices the typically use water filtration can be used with sand filters than substantially extent the life of normal filtration units.<br />
<br />
Moving outside the home, going green might mean the use of solar energy to heat water or to power devices such as pipe vents. Another green idea would be the implementation of drip irrigation. This makes sure less water is wasted by getting it where it is most needed. Regular maintenance of sprinklers is another green opportunity than many overlook.<br />
<br />
There are plenty of ways to use <A href="http://rollandreashplumbing.com/going_green.html">green plumbing products</A> to help save the environment along with a buck or two. These devices along with environmentally friendly habits can really lower energy costs and water consumption. Installation is fairly simple in most cases, or qualified experts can be called upon to make sure the job is done right.<br />
