WaterSense Releases Spec for Bathroom Sink Faucets
According to the EPA, Americans are wasting 60 billion gallons of water every year while simply washing their hands or brushing their teeth. That translates into $300 billion in water bills and more than $500 million in the energy costs to supply, heat, and treat that water.
WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets will reduce water use by 30% with no sacrifice in performance or change in routine. Savings could be even greater for households replacing older faucets, which can flow at rates as high as 3 to 7 gpm.
