WaterSense®labeling
Did you know about 20% of your electricity bill goes to heating water, which is the second biggest use of energy in a home? That’s why it pays to use products that save both water and energy. Look for the WaterSense label.
WaterSense products are at least 20% more efficient than conventional products. They’ll have a positive impact on the amount of water you use and your electricity bill, not to mention the environment.
The WaterSense label indicates that a product saves water and meets strict performance criteria. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the WaterSense program in 2006. Since then, WaterSense has helped North Americans save a total of more than 7.95 billion litres of water and 284 billion kilowatthours of energy.
