Plumbing is an industry that has remained virtually the same for a hundred years... That is until a few years ago.
The "green movement" has had an impact on an industry that remained stagnant for a century. Now, there are alternative methods to heating your home such as solar power heating and waterless tanks have revolutionized the industry.
In 2007 the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) released final specifications for toilets certified under its new WaterSense water efficiency program. New WaterSense labeled toilets are 20 percent more efficient and use less than 1.28 gallons per flush. These toilets are not only more efficient than past models, but they are more effective fixtures in general.
Although the WaterSense standard was voluntary, it is now the law in several states, including California and Texas. For that reason, high-efficiency toilets are leading the way in plumbing technology trends and the next frontier for water efficiency is showers.
Plumbing manufacturers are now coming out with new water-efficient shower-heads that allow you to reduce the flow and still have a high-performance shower that allows you to rinse properly.
