"Sloan Aqus System » Graywater reuse. It's a little crazy that we use potable drinking water to flush our toilets. Aqus is a simple system that routes used sink water (graywater) through a filter and disinfectant and into any nearby toilet tank for use in flushing. Being water smart couldn't be easier."
"The U.S. is known for a love of being uberclean, so it's surprising that we haven't embraced bidets, as they offer a cleanliness we can't get with toilet paper. Beyond cleanliness, bidets save water, because making toilet paper is an incredibly water-intensive process. And some bidet users increase their shower intervals, saving more water still. Toilet: Bidet retrofit. Toto's Washlet and similar products allow conventional toilets to act as both toilet and bidet with the easy addition of a new seat. The seat has an integrated water nozzle that functions as a bidet."
"Clivis Multrum Foam Flush Toilet Fixture » Composting toilets. Composting toilets, which use little or no water, are ready for the mainstream with smart systems that can look like conventional toilets (save for missing the water tank). Manufacturers like Clivus Multrum and Sun-Mar offer centralized systems that have remote tanks for the waste. The tanks can be sized so that minimal attention is required."
"As a self-proclaimed nonmorning person, I have to say that even I would happily jump out of bed in the morning to get into this shower. Such an exhilarating shade of lemon-lime is definitely a wake-me-up color if there ever was one. I like that the rest of the bathroom walls are kept light and the flooring is neutral, making the large walk-in shower the highlight."
Take Inspiration from Nature "Who doesn't enjoy relaxing by the water, preferably with a cool drink in hand? Inject that vacation vibe into your bathroom by using colors inspired by the sea. This tranquil, spa-like bathroom with its palette of sand and sea would provide relief after even the most stressful day."
"Showerheads. You don't have to give up a luxe shower experience to save water. Feel virtuous when lathering up with a WaterSense-certified shower head. WaterSense understands that no one wants a wimpy shower spray, so all their approved fixtures tout a "satisfactory shower that is equal to or better than conventional showerheads on the market" while using just 2 gallons of water per minute. Showers typically use less water than baths, as long as they're kept brief. A timer can help you keep an eye on how long you've been lathering up."
