If your bathroom fixtures come in retro colors like “Pepto^®” pink and avocado green—or were installed before 1994, after plumbing standards became more efficient—they could be sending money and water down the drain. Advances in plumbing technology and design have led to faucets, showers, and toilets that use significantly less water than standard models while still delivering the rinse, spray, and flushing power you need.

Upgrading your main bathroom with WaterSense labeled fixtures can save enough water annually to wash six months’ worth of laundry, reduce your energy use enough to run your refrigerator for two months, and decrease a household’s utility bills by $80 per year, allowing the fixtures to pay for themselves in as little as two years.
