(firmenpresse) - OAKVILLE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/12/11 -- Choosing an eco-friendly faucet is a great way to exercise water conservation. Not only will eco-friendly products conserve water, but they also help you save money. are easy to install because they require no additional steps or adjustments. There is no need to sacrifice aesthetics for sustainability: eco-friendly faucets are available in traditional, modern and transitional designs.
What to keep in mind when choosing eco-friendly faucets and showers
Water conservation and performance are two of the primary features to consider when looking for an eco-friendly product. Ideal and showers look and operate the same as their non eco-friendly counterparts but make use of flow-optimization technology to conserve water. An aerator is a common faucet accessory that mixes air with the water stream to reduce water flow rate while maintaining adequate water pressure.
An easy way to identify eco-friendly faucets and showers is to look for products bearing the WaterSense® label on their packaging. Faucets and showers with a WaterSense label have been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for demonstrating measurable water savings results, with at least 20% more water-efficiency than non eco-friendly products.
Eco-friendly showers must perform a particularly fine balancing act between sustainability and performance. Showerheads must use no more than 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm)/17.6 litres per minute (lpm) to be deemed sustainable but must, at the same time, achieve satisfactory performance expectations as outlined by the EPA. Performance includes adequate force and coverage emitted from the showering device.
Other features to consider when searching for eco-friendly faucets and showers is whether or not the manufacturing processes use renewable sources and if the manufacturer has adopted corporate sustainability initiatives. Selecting an eco-friendly product that adheres to all of the above criteria ensures that you are choosing an eco-conscious product that is mindful of the environment.
