The bathroom is the biggest water user in most homes, about 30% of your indoor water goes to showers, toilets, and faucets. That means it's also the best place to save. These upgrades cut water use dramatically, and the savings stack up month after month.
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs)
A standard toilet can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush. High-efficiency models use 1.28 or even 1.0. A family of four can save 12,000+ gallons a year by swapping one old toilet, that's a real line item on your Plano water bill.
Low-Flow and Smart Showers
Older shower heads flow at 2.5 gallons per minute. Modern ones use 1.5 to 2.0 GPM and feel better, thanks to improved nozzle design. Add a smart shower valve with presets and a pause button, and you'll save even more while adjusting water to your ideal temperature before you step in. If you're replacing the shower anyway, a tub to shower conversion starts you out with low-flow everything from day one.
Aerated Faucets
A $20 aerated faucet inserts air into the water stream, cutting flow from 2.2 to 1.2 GPM with no noticeable difference in washing performance. It's the cheapest water upgrade there is.
Fix the Drips
A slow-leaking faucet or toilet flapper can waste thousands of gallons a year without making a sound. During fixture upgrades, we replace worn valves and flappers as a matter of course.
Why It Matters in North Texas
Texas summers are hard on water supplies, and Plano's tiered water rates mean high usage gets expensive fast. Every gallon saved helps your wallet and the region, a true win-win, and right in line with the mission of Eco Bathroom Remodel in Plano.
