FAUCET FLOWS

WaterSense labeled bathroom sink faucets and accessories that use a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute can reduce a sink’s water flow by 30 percent or more from the standard flow of 2.2 gallons per minute without sacrificing performance. We could save billions of gallons nationwide each year by retrofitting bathroom sink faucets with WaterSense labeled models.

All products bearing the WaterSense label complete a third-party certification process to ensure they meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) criteria. Faucets and faucet accessories—products that can be attached easily to existing faucets to save water—that obtain the WaterSense label have demonstrated both water efficiency and the ability to provide ample flow.

WATERSENSE SAVINGS

Replacing old, inefficient faucets and aerators with WaterSense labeled models can save the average family 700 gallons of water per year, equal to the amount of water needed to take 40 showers. Since these water savings reduce demands on water heaters, households will also save enough energy to run a hairdryer 10 minutes a day for a year. Achieving these savings can be as easy as twisting on a WaterSense labeled aerator, which can cost as little as a few dollars. If every home in the United States replaced existing faucets and aerators with WaterSense labeled models, we could save nearly $1.2 billion in water and

energy costs and 64 billion gallons of water across the country annually—equivalent to the annual household water needs of more than 680,000 American homes.

Whether replacing an older, inefficient faucet, or looking to reduce water in your bathroom, choose a WaterSense labeled sink faucet or faucet accessory.
