Spring Plumbing Upgrades: 5 Water-Saving Fixtures to Lower Your Bills

As spring arrives, it's the perfect time to refresh your home with upgrades that save water and reduce utility bills. Small plumbing changes can make a big impact on conservation and your wallet. Here are five water-saving fixtures to consider this season.

1. Low-Flow Toilets

Traditional toilets use up to 6 gallons per flush, while modern low-flow models use only 1.28 gallons. Upgrading to a WaterSense-certified toilet can save thousands of gallons per year, lowering both your water bill and environmental footprint.

2. High-Efficiency Showerheads

Switching to a high-efficiency showerhead can reduce water usage by up to 50% without sacrificing pressure. Look for models that use 1.5 to 2.0 gallons per minute (GPM) compared to older ones that use 2.5 GPM or more.

3. Touchless Faucets

Touchless or motion-sensor faucets minimize water waste by automatically shutting off when not in use. They’re great for kitchens and bathrooms, helping prevent drips and accidental overuse.

4. Water-Saving Washing Machines

Front-loading and high-efficiency washing machines use significantly less water and energy than older top-loading models. Upgrading to an ENERGY STAR-certified washer can cut water use by up to 40% per load.

5. Smart Irrigation Systems

Spring is prime time for lawn care, but traditional irrigation systems waste water. A smart irrigation system adjusts watering schedules based on weather and soil moisture, reducing excess water use while keeping your landscape healthy.
