Residential Fixtures and Appliances
"Residential" sites include: single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums, and the individual units within a multi-family building.
High-Efficiency Clothes Washer
Up to $150 Rebate
High-Efficiency Clothes Washers (HEWs) utilize technological advances to deliver excellent wash performance while saving both water and energy. Resource efficient models use 35-50% less water and approximately 50% less energy. The water efficiency of clothes washers is rated using the term "water factor" to describe and compare its water use. Water factor is measured by the quantity of water (gallons) used to wash each cubic foot of laundry. A lower water factor represents greater water and energy efficiency.

Ultra Low Flush Toilet /
High Efficiency Toilet
(Including Dual-Flush)

Up to $100 Rebate
Federal law currently mandates that all toilets manufactured in the U.S. must use an average of 1.6 gallons per flush or less. These 1.6 gallons per flush toilets are often referred to as Ultra-Low-Flush Toilets or ULFTs. Toilets made from the early 1980s to 1992 used 3.5 gallons per flush or more. Toilets made prior to 1980 used 5.0 to 7.0 or higher gallons per flush. ULFTs use approximately 20,000 gallons less water annually than older non-ULFT models.

High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6-gallons-per-flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28-gpf. (The HET category includes dual-flush toilets.) The average water savings for HETs is estimated to be 38 gallons per day (gpd) when replacing a non-ULFT and 7 gpd when replacing a ULFT.

Ultra Low Flush Toilet
Up to $300 Rebate
Federal law currently mandates that all toilets manufactured in the U.S. must use an average of 1.6 gallons per flush or less. These 1.6 gallons per flush toilets are often referred to as Ultra-Low-Flush Toilets or ULFTs. Toilets made from the early 1980s to 1992 used 3.5 gallons per flush or more. Toilets made prior to 1980 used 5.0 to 7.0 or higher gallons per flush. ULFTs use approximately 20,000 gallons less water annually than older non-ULFT models.

High-Efficiency Toilet
(Including Dual-Flush)

Up to $200 Rebate
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6-gallons-per-flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28-gpf. (The HET category includes dual-flush toilets.) The average water savings for HETs is estimated to be 38 gallons per day (gpd) when replacing a non-ULFT and 7 gpd when replacing a ULFT.

High-Efficiency Urinal
Up to $300 Rebate
High-Efficiency Urinals (HEUs) are defined as fixtures that function at 0.5-gpf or less. (The HEU category includes non-water urinals) Based on data from studies of actual usage, these urinals save 20,000 gallons of water per year with an estimated 20-year life. In addition to saving water and sewer cost, non-water urinals are an improvement over traditional urinals in both maintenance and hygiene.

Pressurized Waterbroom
Up to $50 Rebate
When you use a hose and nozzle to clean sidewalks, you are using anywhere from 8 to 18 gallons of water per minute. With a pressurized Waterbroom, you will clean more efficiently and use as little as 2.8 gallons of water per minute. The Waterbroom nozzle jets use a combination of air and water pressure, allowing the work area to dry in minutes, helping to reduce liabilities. This new water-saving technology cleans and removes dirt and food spills from concrete, asphalt or any other composite surface. Studies have shown that the Waterbroom requires 75% less labor to operate than a garden hose or broom.

X-Ray Film Processor Re-Circulation System
Up to $2,000 Rebate
The amount of water required to operate a non-digital x-ray film processor can be reduced by 98%! In one year, a typical film processing system needlessly sends hundreds of thousands of gallons of water down the drain. The average processor uses 788,400 gallons of water per year. With this re-circulation system, you can reduce wash-water effluent to 13,530 gallons per year, which lowers water and sewage costs. Municipal water supplies can be shut down by disasters such as earth-quakes, storms and droughts; with 15 gallons of bottled water and a power source, the processor can process films during a loss of water in an emergency.

Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller
$900 Rebate
If your conductivity controller is more than 5 years old, it may be losing efficiency. Annual water savings with a new Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller can be as much as 800,000 gallons. Automated monitoring and control are the keys to maintaining cooling system efficiency. By accurately transmitting information to the valves that control the amount of blow down (water drained from the cooling tower reservoir) and subsequent makeup water, a conductivity controller can dramatically reduce operating expenses. Call 877-231-3625 x16 to participate.
