Did you know that the average American uses about 82 gallons of water at home every day? ¹ That’s a lot of baths, showers and bathroom breaks!

All that water use could be costing you—especially if it’s going to waste. In fact, up to 10% of homes in the US have leaks that waste more than 90 gallons a day. ¹ That’s not good news for water conservation efforts or your water bill!

If you’re looking to boost your water efficiency, eliminate waste and save money, the WaterSense program is an easy and effective way to get started.

WaterSense is an EPA-sponsored program designed to help people save water and money. Basically, if a product meets specific standards for efficiency and performance, it receives a WaterSense label, making it clear which products are water efficient. By installing WaterSense products, you can save right away.

A WaterSense-labeled product has to perform as well or even better than a standard model, while also using at least 20% less water. That means you get at least equal performance and significantly less water use.

It’s easy to find WaterSense products! Any major retailer in your area should carry them—just look for the WaterSense label on the packaging. Eligible customers can also visit our online marketplace to shop WaterSense products.*

The best places in your home to start saving are in your bathroom and around your pipes. Bathrooms use at least 50% of the average home’s water consumption, so installing WaterSense products can have an impact quickly.

Heating hot water is a major source of energy use in your home. By insulating pipes to keep water hot, you don’t have to keep the water running as long while waiting for it heat up, which saves you both energy and water.

Small changes can have a big impact! Here are some examples of how you can save:

• By fixing leaks, the average family would save 9,400 gallons annually, which are otherwise completely wasted ²
• By switching to WaterSense-labeled toilets, the average family would save 13,000 gallons a year, or $130 in costs ²
• By replacing old showerheads with WaterSense-labeled models, the average family would save 2,700 gallons or $70 annually ²

Many of these products and changes can end up paying for themselves!

It’s not just about saving money; by making efforts to reduce your water use and waste, you’re contributing to a more sustainable future for your family and community.
