Weet niet hoe die Amerikanen het hebben, maar Canadezen hebben 2 wateraansluitingen. De een is bijna vergelijkbaar met het water waar wij onze WC's mee doorspoelen, de ander is niet drinkbaar, wordt bacterievrij gehouden met een flinke hoeveelheid chloor.Schinnen-groen schreef op donderdag 21 november 2013 @ 15:49:
Facts & Statistics
•Approximately 5 to 10 percent of American homes have water leaks that drip away 90 gallons a day or more! Many of these leaks reside in old fixtures such as leaky toilets and faucets. In fact, water lost by these leaky residences could be reduced by more than 30,000 gallons if new, efficient fixtures were installed. If the 5 percent of American homes that leak the most corrected those leaks—it could save more than 177 billion gallons of water annually!
•Using WaterSense labeled faucets or faucet accessories could reduce a household's faucet water use by more than 500 gallons annually—that's enough water to do 14 loads of laundry.
•WaterSense labeled faucets and faucet accessories can reduce excessive flow volumes by more than 30 percent without sacrificing performance.
•If one in every 10 homes in the United States were to install WaterSense labeled faucets or faucet accessories in their bathrooms, it could save 6 billion gallons of water, and more than $50 million in the energy costs to supply, heat, and treat that water.
•If all inefficient toilets in U.S. homes were converted to WaterSense labeled models, we could save more than 640 billion gallons of water per year—the equivalent to 15 days of flow over Niagara Falls.
•If homeowners with irrigation systems use WaterSense irrigation partners to perform regular maintenance, they could reduce irrigation water by 15 percent or about 9,000 gallons annually—or the amount of water that would flow from a garden hose nonstop for nearly a whole day.
1 Gallon = 3,785 liter
Met dat chloorwater kan je douchen, je auto schoonmaken, je WC doortrekken, etc, dat water kost veel minder en zal ongetwijfeld ook veel minder energie vreten om te zuiveren. Bijkomend voordeel is dat je WC minder vaak chloor nodig heeft.
