Merchant Q&A: New Faucets Save More than Water
The average shower we take in the United States lasts 8 minutes, and according to the EPA’s WaterSense® program, uses almost 17% of the typical home’s daily water use – or enough water for the daily recommended drinking water of 34 people.
In fact, showers account for the 2nd greatest water use inside the home. So, we’ve helped make those 8 minutes guilt-free by only offering shower heads in our stores that use 1.8 gallons-per-minute, which is even more efficient than the EPA’s WaterSense standard of 2.0 gallons-per-minute. We’ve also simplified the process of buying a shower head with a simple rating system in our stores so customers can more easily understand the different shower head settings and features.
