Available Smart Rebates
High-efficiency clothes washer: High-efficiency clothes washers use 35-50% less water and approximately 50% less energy than traditional washers. The water efficiency of clothes washers is rated using the "water factor" to describe and compare its water use. A lower water factor represents greater efficiency.
High-efficiency toilet: High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20% 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-ultra-low-flush toilet.
High-efficiency urinal: High-efficiency urinals are fixtures that function at 0.5 gpf or less and include non-water urinals. These urinals save up to 20,000 gallons of water per year and have an estimated 20-year life.
Pressurized waterbroom: When you use a hose and nozzle to clean sidewalks, you are using anywhere from 8 to 18 gallons of water per minute (gpm). With a pressurized waterbroom, you use as little as 2.8 gpm. The waterbroom nozzle jets use a combination of air and water pressure, allowing the work area to dry in minutes.
X-ray film processor re-circulation system: 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.
