We Make Saving Water Simply Beautiful

Price Pfister is a leading provider of water conserving faucets. As one of the first faucet companies to partner with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program, we have been a proven leader of green projects since 2007.

At Price Pfister, we believe our faucets should function as beautifully on the inside as they do outside. Our water conserving faucets are WaterSense certified, which mean they meet the EPA’s rigorous criteria of both performance and efficiency.

Our water-efficient faucets like the Pasadena lavatory faucet help reduce water consumption by 30% without compromising your water experience. By using our water saving faucets, you can save approximately 30,000 gallons of water per year. You can also convert any of your existing Price Pfister faucets with a Price Pfister Eco-Pfriendly ™ Aerator to make sure you start saving today.

Saving water will not only lower your water bill and help protect our environment, it will also help you cut energy costs. Reducing water usage will lower demands on water heaters, thereby significantly reducing your utility bill.

Take an easy first step toward responsible water conservation and saving money, with beautifully designed water saving faucets from Price Pfister. Look for the green leaf logo on our website which indicates WaterSense certified products.

Why Conserve Water?

Saving water saves money

By switching to water efficient plumbing fixtures, the average household can save about $170 per year on their water bill. If every household in the United States installed WaterSense certified bathroom sink faucets, we could save more than $350 million in water utility bills. To find out just how much you can save by installing WaterSense certified products, use this water savings calculator provided by the EPA.

Saving water saves energy

We could avoid about $600 million in energy costs for heating water annually. If one out of every 100 American homes retrofitted with water saving fixtures, we could save about 100 million kWh of electricity per year—avoiding 80,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. That is equivalent to removing nearly 15,000 automobiles from the road for one year!

Saving water saves the environment

In addition to decreasing our greenhouse gas emissions, lowering water use eliminates excessive surface water withdrawals that degrade natural habitats. We would also reduce the need to construct additional dams and reservoirs or otherwise regulate the natural flow of streams, thus retaining the value of stream and river systems as wildlife habitats and recreational areas.

Saving water saves the future

According to a government survey, at least 36 states will experience local, regional, or statewide water shortages by 2013. But by using water more efficiently, we can help preserve and sustain water supplies for future generations.
