Do You Want Your Bathroom to be more Efficient? Here?s a List of Fixtures You Can Install or Replace

Nowadays, there's a lot of talk about sustainability and conservation, and this is all related to efficiency in the home. There are more efficient appliances for the modern kitchen, and the same is true for the bathroom. Bathrooms are places where a lot of water is used, and the conservation of water is one increasingly important consideration.

If you're concerned about saving water whilst still enjoying the pleasures of your steam shower or whirlpool bath, then what you can do is install or replace other bathroom fixtures, allowing you to feel less guilty about indulging and pampering yourself once in a while.

More efficient fixtures:

Your bathroom?s toilet

Your bathroom?s toilet can be more efficient; replacing a standard toilet with one that is more efficient can help you use no more than two gallons of water for every flush. This is a good choice, as the average toilet uses about five gallons of water for every flush. There are even toilets that use only about 1.30 gallons of water every time you flush; this not only saves money on your water bill, but allows you to be friendlier to the environment as well.

Your bathroom vanity?s tap

You also have the choice of selecting a more efficient tap for your vanity; this allows you to save as much as 45% more water as compared with standard taps and fixtures. A standard or traditional tap will use about 14,000 gallons annually for a family with four members, so having a vanity tap that's more efficient can benefit you in many ways.

Your bathroom?s shower head

If you have a shower in your bathroom (and most, if not all of us, do), you can also opt for a more efficient shower head. There are now highly efficient bathroom shower heads equipped with aerators that'save water, allowing you to save up to seven gallons every time you shower. Another function makes some shower heads more efficient as well ? the purge and pause feature, which pauses the flow of water as soon as it reaches a certain temperature instead of letting it drain.

Having a more efficient bathroom with more efficient fixtures is not an impossibility ? it's entirely doable nowadays, especially with the advent of some revolutionary innovations. And one more thing: if you're worried about the flush?s power, don't be. Most of these efficient toilets still have the same amount of flushing power as traditional or standard toilet, and they can process waste just as efficiently.

A bathroom that's more efficient is a boon to your wallet ? and it helps conserve precious natural resources as well as allowing you to enjoy your bathroom?s other features (such as whirlpool baths) guilt-free.
