The G2872 is classified as a CEE Tier 1 dishwasher, exceeding current Energy Star standards.
Using data from NOAA satellites and other sources, the WeatherTrak ET Plus irrigation controller adjusts irrigation output as the weather changes, ensuring watering only takes place when needed and eliminating overwatering.
In addition to having a Water Factor of only 3.3, the W6884ECO washing machine saves energy by having two water inlet connections: one for hot water and one for cold.
The Avalanche 1.28 LS one-piece toilet is WaterSense-certified for 1.28 gpf. Dual siphon-jet technology clears waste quickly, the maker says, and a large water surface helps keep the bowl clean. It features a Leak Sensory Pro fill valve to eliminate toilet run-on, an elongated rim, and a fully...
The RainXchange system combines sub-surface rainwater collection with an above-ground recirculating water feature. Rainwater from the gutters collects in an underground rain filter and is then sent to a modular storage basin; water is pumped to either the irrigation hose or recirculates through the...
The 90 Degree bath suite includes a single-handle, single-hole faucet and a two-handle wide-spread faucet (shown), both WaterSense certified for 1.5-gpm operation. The wide-spread unit features the companys M-Pact valve, and the single-handle model includes a Duralast cartridge.

Nearly 50% of potable water delivered to American homes goes down the drains of sinks, showers, and washing machines. Here's how to put that "lightly used" water to work for a second time around.
With the advent of WaterSense certification—and manufacturers’ overwhelming response to it, there’s simply no excuse not to specify water-efficient toilets, showerheads, and faucets.
Today’s dishwashers and washing machines are working hard to save both water and energy without compromising performance.
How widespread water shortages, driven by climate change and population growth, are shaping our future.
As part of an EPA study, Pulte Homes integrates water-efficient features into its Las Vegas production housing.
