FAQs
What exactly is a water-saving faucet and how does it help conserve water?
A water-saving faucet is designed with aerators, flow restrictors, or sensor-based controls that limit the volume of water exiting the spout without sacrificing rinsing power. Typical flow rates drop from the standard 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) to 1.5 gpm or less. By mixing air into the stream or turning on only when hands are detected, these fixtures reduce overall water use by up to 30-40 % while still delivering a comfortable, splash-free flow.
How much money can I expect to save by replacing my old faucets in Greenback?
Savings depend on family size and existing fixture efficiency, but EPA studies show households can save roughly 700 gallons per year per upgraded faucet. In Greenback, where the average water/sewer rate is about $0.009 per gallon, that’s around $6–$7 annually per faucet, plus energy savings from heating less hot water. Over the faucet’s 10-15-year life span, savings add up, and when multiple faucets are replaced, the payback period is typically under two years.
Will a water-saving faucet fit my current sink or plumbing setup?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency faucets are manufactured with the same standard U.S. thread sizes and deck-mount dimensions as conventional models. During our on-site assessment in Greenback, we verify supply line connections, measure hole spacing, and identify any special adapters needed. In most cases, installation is a direct swap that requires no changes to your countertop or supply valves.
What is included in your faucet replacement service?
Our Greenback plumbing team handles everything from start to finish: (1) consultation and product selection, (2) shutting off water and removing the existing faucet, (3) cleaning the deck area and checking for leaks or corrosion, (4) installing the new water-saving faucet with fresh supply hoses and seals, (5) flushing lines, testing flow, and adjusting aerators, and (6) recycling or properly disposing of the old fixture. Most standard replacements take about an hour per faucet.
Will reducing flow compromise water pressure or user comfort?
No. Water-saving faucets rely on engineering, not just restriction. High-performance aerators mix air with water to maintain a satisfying, steady stream that rinses soap and debris effectively. In fact, many customers report less splashing and better temperature control because of the smoother laminar flow. If your home already has low incoming pressure, we can select models optimized for that condition or install pressure-balancing valves.
Are there rebates or local incentives for installing water-efficient fixtures in Greenback?
Yes. Tennessee’s EPA WaterSense program periodically offers $10-$20 mail-in rebates for WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets and aerators. Some utility districts in the Greenback area, such as Loudon Utilities, also provide bill credits or free aerators during conservation campaigns. We stay current on these programs and supply all documentation, serial numbers, and receipts you need to apply, helping maximize your return on investment.
