Energy Bill Saving Tip: Aerator Faucets
Installing low-flow faucet aerators is one of the most effective water conservation savings you can do for your home. Our faucet aerators are both inexpensive and simple to install. Low-flow faucet aerators and low flow shower heads can reduce your home water consumption as much as 50%, and reduce your energy cost of heating the water also by as much as 50%. This conservation of water and energy is not only good for the environment, but can also have as substantial impact on your utility bills. These products can pay for themselves within a few months and from then on you will enjoy continued savings.
If an aerator is already installed on your faucet, it will have its rated flow imprinted on the side. This should read 2.25 g.p.m. (gallons per minute) or lower. Replace if over 2.25gpm. If no aerator is installed, check to see if there are threads just inside the tip of the faucet. Most modern faucets are threaded to accept aerators.
