Bathroom Confidential: Uncovering the Water Wasting Culprits!

The Home Depot to host “Go Low Flow” event

Did you know that the average Canadian draws 329 litres of fresh, clean drinking water per person per day – most of it for bathing and flushing toilets? Yet, according to The Home Depot Canadian Green Home Index, only six per cent of Canadians report curbing their water usage at home.

On August 15 and 16, The Home Depot stores across Canada are kick starting the need to make water conservation a priority in the home – beginning in the bathroom. Canadians will be able to start saving money and conserving water with 30 per cent off select low flow toilets. Consumers may also be eligible for additional provincial and municipal rebates. To find out more about the rebates offered in your area, please visit www.homedepot.ca/ecooptions.

In addition to reducing water consumption and saving money, consumers can feel good about supporting a good cause as five per cent (up to $25,000) of all profits from this event will be donated to The Home Depot Canada Foundation, a private, not-for-profit charitable foundation.

Why go low flow?

• Cost Savings – Installing water conserving products such as a low flow toilet, showerhead and faucet in the bathroom can help Canadians save substantially on their water bills.

• Water Savings – Simply switching to a low flow toilet, Canadians will use 60 per cent less water than with a traditional toilet.

• Did you know? – The Home Depot no longer sells traditional water wasting 13-litre flush toilets and instead only offers environmentally-preferred low flow toilets that use just six litres or less of water per flush?
