How Much of Your Money is Going "Down the Crapper?"

Dear God, Why does it seem that I never have money to spare after paying the bills?


Well, could it be your bathroom fixtures? See, what most people don't realize is that there are several versions of sinks, tubs, showers, and most importantly, toilets, that all help to save not only the environment, but the owners' pockets. 

Manufacturers, these days more than ever, are pumping out super efficient models of such fixtures.  These can play major roles in lives of consumers everywhere.  WaterSense-labeled toilets, for instance, are not only rated to meet certain efficiency criteria, but also performance criteria, before they are labeled as such.  These are fantastic toilets to seek out if replacing your current porcelain throne.  With such models, a consumer can actually save about 4,000 gallons of water each year, which can result in considerable savings in water bills each year, usually around $90.  Not much, maybe, but I could think of a few things to spend that $90 bucks on, instead of a freaking water bill. 

And that savings is just on the toilet alone.  Imagine a bathroom fully furnished with fixtures the EPA (environmental protection agency) rates as being up to par with its standard of water-saving performance.  That could amount to well over $100 in savings each year.  You can find the seal on all bathroom fixtures, so check it out...
