Constructing an additional bathroom is projected to be the most common home remodeling project in 2010, beating out the traditional favorites of remodeling existing bathrooms and kitchens, according to the website Remodelormove.com. If you’re one of the multitude of homeowners stirring up dust this summer, consider a no-sweat way to save money on your home renovation: pick the right plumbing products.
Advances in plumbing technology and design mean that faucets, showers, and toilets can use significantly less water than standard models while still delivering the rinse, spray, and flush you expect. Just look for the WaterSense label when selecting plumbing fixtures for your new or remodeled bathroom, and you can be assured that the products have been independently tested and certified to save water and perform well. More than 2,500 different models of WaterSense labeled plumbing fixtures are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and price points to help you save water and money.
Many water utilities and state governments offer rebates on WaterSense labeled products, creating an added financial incentive for buying smart showerheads and efficient toilets.
