Composting Toilets
Doesn't use water for flushing, but composts human waste into soil, ideal for non-sewered areas.
Pressure-Reducing Valves
By controlling pressure in home water systems, these valves can reduce the flow and save water without affecting performance.
Pool Covers
Covers reduce water evaporation from swimming pools, conserving the water needed to refill them.
Water-Saving Landscaping
Utilizes drought-resistant plants and strategic designs to minimize water use in gardens and lawns.
Greywater Systems
Reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for irrigation and flushing toilets, thus saving fresh water.
Water-Saving Ice Makers
Water-efficient ice makers recirculate water to make ice, reducing wasted water.
Soil Moisture Sensors
These sensors detect moisture levels in soil, ensuring that plants are watered only when necessary.
High-Efficiency Washing Machines
Requires less water and energy per load, conserving water and reducing bills.
Dishwasher Efficiency
Modern efficient dishwashers use less water than washing dishes by hand, especially if run when fully loaded.
Leak Repair
Prevents water loss from leaks in pipes and fixtures, saving significant amounts of water.
Low-Flow Showerheads
They reduce the water flow, conserving water by providing effective cleaning with less volume.
Dual-flush Toilets
Offer two flush options, one for liquid waste (less water) and one for solid waste (more water), conserving water over traditional toilets.
Rain Barrels
Collect rainwater for garden irrigation, reducing the need for tap water.
Faucet Aerators
Mix air with water to give the feel of a strong flow while using less water.
Drip Irrigation
Delivers water directly to the plant roots, minimizing evaporation and runoff.
