Find the products that make a difference...
Throughout the past few years, developments in water
conservation technology have produced a number of devices as the importance
of conservation of water has risen. These include a wide
variety of water conservation products including those for plumbing,
cleaning, gardening, and pool maintenance as well as entire systems for
water recycling and rainwater harvesting.
Water Conservation Devices / Dual Flush
The United States, like Australia and many other countries are experiencing more erratic weather that places a significant strain on water resources.
This can no longer just be ignored. Any house hold that still uses an old toilet flushing cistern, should give very serious thought to converting to dual flush.
A dual flush system is probably the single most significant water saving invention to date.
The Dual Flush toilet that was developed 25 years ago in Australia is such a success story that it has been mandatory throughout Australia for many years, and most of the country has been retrofitted with Dual
Flush, significantly reducing the strain on their fresh water supply.
They are now available around the world from different manufacturers.
Rainwater harvesting is a technology used for collecting and storing rainwater from rooftops, the land surface or rock catchments using simple techniques such as jars and pots as well as more complex techniques such as underground check dams.
The techniques usually found in Asia and Africa arise originate from practices employed by ancient civilizations within these regions and still serve as a major source of drinking water supply in rural areas. Commonly used systems are constructed of three principal components; namely, the catchment area, the collection device, and the conveyance system.

Water Conservation Devices / Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater provides hot water only when needed. It heats water on demand.
Here's how it works: You turn on the hot water tap, the system rapidly heats cold water (which travels through a pipe into the unit), and hot water flows to your tap as long as you'd like. That means you won't run out of hot water in the middle of a shower.
Because of the energy efficient capabilities of tankless water heaters you will notice big savings in your monthly utility bills. Just be sure to choose these devices wisely. Our research indicates that tankless water heaters supplied through the Low Energy Systems will yield good results.
Go to their web site by clicking on their green ad (see on left). Once on the Low Energy Systems site, check out how you can have one of their tankless water heaters installed in your home. There is also information on their site on how you can obtain a substantial tax credit by using this energy efficient device.
Water Conservation Devices / Bathroon Aerators
Bathroom aerators usually are chrome plated or brass. They provide a
more projected and pressurized spray than most kitchen aerators. And
bathroom aerators generally cost even less, ranging anywhere from $2 to
$5 each.
Bathroom faucets without these attachments can use
anywhere from 2 to 4 gallons of water per minute. New low flow bathroom
aerators use as little as 1 to .5 gallons per minute and all without
reducing water pressure.
Features:
• Half the flow, twice the power. Commercial-grade aerators for the
home.
• Highly efficient, chrome-plated brass faucet aerators.
• High-pressure needle spray makes cleaning a breeze!
• High-pressure 1.0 GPM flow rate
• Innovative dual-thread system to accommodate both male and female
applications
• Saves 55% more water and energy
• Housing constructed of solid brass with highly polished chrome finish
• Includes housing, flow control, stainless steel screen, and all other
parts necessary for proper installation and operation
• Internally and externally threaded with 15/16 x 27 threads inside and
55/64 threads inside
• Does not contain any unplated brass components
• Provides an even spray pattern
• Flow control constructed of long-lasting Celcon plastic
• Flow rates at 80 PSI maximum
• Life expectancy of approximately 10 years
• Meets or exceeds ASME standards
• California Energy Commission-certified
• 10-year guarantee
This kit bag doubles as flow meter bag to identify water wasters
throughout the home. You can see for yourself how many gallons per
