Green plumbing has gained traction over the past few years due to people’s growing concern over their environmental impact and the possibility of saving money on their water and energy bills. At T.J. Huggard Plumbing, we have followed the green wave and implemented green plumbing practices and technology in our company. We will introduce you to common and useful green plumbing practices and technology you can apply to your home today!
What is Green Plumbing?
Green plumbing refers to the practice of implementing environmentally friendly and sustainable plumbing solutions. These can include the use of water-efficient fixtures, such as low-flow toilets and faucets, as well as the installation of energy-efficient water heaters and pipes. Green plumbing also involves properly treating and recycling wastewater and using non-toxic materials in plumbing systems. By incorporating green plumbing practices, homeowners and businesses can reduce water consumption, lower energy costs, and minimize their impact on the environment.
Is Green Plumbing Less Effective than Regular Plumbing?
Nope! Green plumbing is either as effective and efficient as traditional plumbing or more so, depending on your previous plumbing system. Green plumbing doesn’t just make your home more sustainable for the environment, it can also make your house more efficient in saving water, ultimately reducing your water bill.
Green Plumbing Technology
The following technology allows your home to reduce water waste and save you money on your water bill, all while helping the environment!
Greywater Systems: Greywater is water used in showers, sinks, and washing machines. A greywater system collects that water and either filters it so it can be reused or sends it out to your outdoor hose and sprinklers to help water plants, gardens, and lawns. This system helps reduce your water waste while saving you money on your water bill.
Dual Flush Toilets: Dual flush toilets have two flushing options: solid and liquid waste. This allows your toilet to expend a small amount of water for liquid waste while using a more significant amount for solid waste, again helping you reduce your water usage.
Rainwater Capture and Filter Systems: This system takes rainwater that collects on your roof and gutters and stores it for future use. The rainwater can then be used for lawn care or toilet water.
Solar Water Heaters: Instead of wasting energy on hot showers and warm baths, consider installing a solar water heater. The water heater can use the sun’s energy to heat your water. The sun’s energy is free, so your energy bill will be considerably less each month, and you will reduce your impact on the environment!
