Adequate water flow at a residential property is an important element to consider when living comfortably and while preserving a precious resource. Inadequate water flow may lead to frustration and upset or unsanitary living conditions, while excessive water flow might lead to wasted water unnecessarily.
Adequate water flow is essential for comfortable living, preventing unsanitary conditions, and avoiding water waste.
The environmental impact of the residential sector is significant. More than 120 million homes in the United States and about 1.2 to 1.5 million new homes are constructed each year. On average, for all homes, 70% of household water is used indoors, and 30% is used outdoors; however, these percentages can quickly flip during summer months in arid climates. Outdoor water use, especially for irrigation, can strongly affect a municipality’s peak water use, upon which the sizing of water supply facilities is based.
Flow rate measures the amount of water exiting your faucet per minute (GPM), while water pressure, measured in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI), is the force that moves water through your pipes. High pressure doesn’t equate to high flow, as obstructions, leaks, and the usage of multiple fixtures can reduce flow at certain points. Since 1992, the EPA has mandated a maximum flow rate of 2.5 GPM for new showerheads to promote water conservation. For detailed regulations, visit the EPA’s website:https://www.epa.gov/watersense.
Replacing old toilets with WaterSense labeled models can save an average family up to 13,000 gallons of water and $140 annually, or $2,900 over the toilet’s lifetime. Nationally, replacing inefficient toilets could save 360 billion gallons of water per year. Leaking toilets, often caused by worn-out flappers, waste significant water but are easy to fix. WaterSense toilets offer water efficiency, high performance, and come in various styles and price points, with rebates often available to reduce costs.
