FAQs
How do water-saving faucets work and how much water can they actually save?
Modern water-saving faucets use aerators and precision flow-control cartridges to mix air with the water stream, delivering the same rinsing power while using far less water—typically 1.0–1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) compared to the older 2.2–2.5 gpm standards. In an average Reliance household this translates to a reduction of 700–1,000 gallons of water per faucet every year, lowering both municipal water bills and water-heating energy costs.
Are low-flow faucets compatible with the existing plumbing in my Reliance home or business?
Yes. Water-saving faucets are designed to fit the same ½-inch supply lines and standard sink openings found in most Reliance properties. Our technicians verify thread sizes, shut-off-valve condition, and water-pressure levels before installation. If any minor adapters or supply-line upgrades are required, we stock them on the truck and include them in the fixed quote so there are no surprises.
What can I expect during a faucet or fixture replacement visit? Will my water be shut off for long?
A typical single-faucet replacement takes 45–60 minutes. We isolate only the local shut-off valves, so the rest of your home or building retains full water service. For multi-bathroom fixture upgrades we stage the work so each room is out of service for the shortest possible time. After installation we flush the lines, check for leaks, and dispose of the old fixtures in an environmentally responsible manner.
Will a water-saving faucet feel weaker or affect tasks like washing dishes or filling pots?
Not at all. The aerator technology delivers a high-velocity, well-aerated stream that feels just as strong as a conventional faucet. Independent tests show that low-flow faucets can fill a one-gallon pot only 10–15 seconds slower than high-flow models, a difference most users never notice. You still get excellent rinsing and cleaning performance while cutting water waste by up to 45 %.
Are there rebates or incentives in Reliance for upgrading to high-efficiency plumbing fixtures?
Yes. Reliance Water & Wastewater Services currently offers a $25 per qualifying faucet rebate when you submit proof of purchase and installation by a licensed plumber. In addition, the Texas WaterSmart program occasionally provides seasonal bonus incentives. We furnish the model numbers, efficiency ratings, and signed installation forms you need for the rebate application, and we can even file it on your behalf upon request.
What maintenance do water-saving faucets need and how long do they last?
Maintenance is minimal—unscrew the aerator once every six months, soak it in white vinegar, and rinse away mineral deposits. The ceramic cartridges we install are rated for 500,000 on/off cycles, giving an expected service life of 15–20 years in typical Reliance water conditions. All our faucets carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on finish and mechanical parts, and we provide a one-year labor guarantee for the installation itself.
