Don't Flush Your Money Down the Drain!
If your toilet was manufactured between 1992 or earlier, you
probably have an inefficient model that uses at least 3.5 gallons
per flush. The average household spends somewhere between
$ 450.00 and $ 500.00 per year on its water and sewer bill, if you
follow some simple changes you could save about $ 170.00 to
$ 200.00 per year just by changing the toilet to a WaterSense.
A WaterSense toilet could save a family of four more than
$90.00 annually on their water bill, and $2,000 over the lifetime
of the toilet. New and improved high-efficient models use less
than 1.3 gallons per flush that's at least 60 percent less than
their older less efficient counterparts which use 3.5 gallons per
flush toilet.

| Top Knobs GREEN INITIATIVES With the exception of a small number of combination ceramic/granite knobs and pulls, all Top Knobs products are solid metal, making recycling easy and less energy-intensive. Most knobs and pulls are made from a single metal – brass, steel, iron, bronze – which requires less energy to recycle. Zinc alloy is used where molding complexity requires it, and zinc too is recyclable. Top Knobs factories are instructed to purchase recycled metal when possible and available. The percentage of recycled material varies by metal, product, production run, and factory. Bath Accessories exceed industry practices for packaging. By combining several products into shared packaging, rather than individual packages, reducing the amount of packaging materials while offering the same product protection in shipping. All catalogs, literature, brochures, etc. are printed on certified recycled paper |
