TRENDS IN PLUMBING TODAY

Great news for homeowners! Plumbers are embracing and phasing in new plumbing trends and technologies to save homeowners energy, water, and money. If you’re thinking about upgrading your plumbing, now is the time to consider these new trends.

Going Green

Take rainwater for example. Have you ever wondered what happens to rainwater runoff? It’s wasted! Green technology captures wasted runoff in specialized tanks, and then heats it with solar energy hot water heaters. Not only that, plumbing companies now install high-efficiency plumbing products such as water efficient toilets; these toilets are 20% more efficient and use less then 1.28 gallons of water each flush, experts report.

Energy Efficient Hot Water Heaters

Old-style tank water heaters are wasteful. Let the sun heat your water. Plumbing companies regularly install special rainwater tanks to capture this water, and solar water heaters to heat it. Unlike traditional hot water heaters, these solar water heaters last many years and save you money. Tankless hot water heaters also save you money. These units are great because they only heat water when you need it.

Electronic Controls

This new plumbing technology automatically controls your water temperature, saves energy, and lessens your total water use. And, with rising water and energy costs, every penny counts.

Clean Water Equipment

Clean water is important to your health. Health as well as energy is important. For example, most drinking water fixture fittings are brass. Brass contains lead, and is harmful to one’s health. As a result, plumbers now install brass alloy fixtures to protect your health.

Reusable Water

What is greywater? Greywater is water from your bathtubs, shower drains, sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers you can use again. Over 60% of your homes water is wastewater. And it’s wasted. Now your plumber can design and install a unit that collects, separates, and recycles your wastewater.

These and other new plumbing trends and technology save energy, water, money, and improve your health.
