Why Look For The WaterSense Label? Because It Just Makes Sense

Schedule Now

Have you heard of the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program? If you haven’t, familiarize yourself sooner, rather than later. Buying products with the WaterSense logo can save you money while conserving a precious resource — water — and lowering greenhouse gases produced when water’s heated for bathing, showering and hand washing.  

Products bearing the WaterSense label meet EPA specifications for performance and efficiency. And they have met third-party certification criteria. Among the products bearing the WaterSense logo:

  • Faucets
  • Toilets
  • Showerheads

WaterSense bathroom faucets

WaterSense bathroom faucets and accessories can lower the flow rate in your sinks by 30 percent — and your water consumption by 500 gallons annually — without affecting performance. In addition, they can significantly lower your water-heating bills.

WaterSense toilets

Toilets typically account for 30 percent of a family’s water consumption. WaterSense toilets use 20 percent less water than the current federal standard and perform just as well. Converting your toilets can save you 11 gallons of water daily per toilet. That’s an estimated $90 yearly. WaterSense toilets are available in a range of styles and at a number of price points.

WaterSense showerheads

Showering accounts for more than 15 percent of an average family’s daily water consumption — about 30 gallons. Installing WaterSense showerheads can save you nearly 3,000 gallons of water annually. And as far as your water heating is concerned — the savings in kilowatt hours can equal what it takes to power your home for three days.

How do you find WaterSense products? Simple. The next time you’re at the home-improvement store, look for products bearing the blue, white and green WaterSense logo. There’s a green leaf in the middle of it. Or ask a staff member to point them out. If you’re having any bathroom remodeling done, make sure your contractor installs WaterSense fixtures.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
