High-Efficiency Flushing Urinals
Did you know that nearly 80 percent of the urinals in use today—approximately
9.6 million fixtures—exceed the maximum allowable flush volume
set by federal standards? Replacing these inefficient fixtures with
high-efficiency flushing urinals can save between 1.0 and 4.5 gallons
per flush, without sacrificing performance. WaterSense is currently
developing a specification that will help purchasers easily identify
high-performance, water-efficient flushing urinals.
High-efficiency flushing urinal fixtures and flushometer valves
bearing the WaterSense label will
use no more than 0.5 gallons per flush (gpf), at least 50 percent
less water than standard flushing urinals.
Look for the WaterSense label on
flushing urinals later this year. A WaterSense labeled flushing
urinal will help you reduce water use in your facility and save
money on water bills. Please review the high-efficiency
flushing urinals fact sheet for more information.
