Showering is one of the leading water uses in the home, accounting for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water consumption, or about 30 gallons per day. That's nearly 1.2 trillion gallons of water used in the United States annually, enough to supply the states of New York and New Jersey for a year.
The average household could save more than 2,300 gallons per year by installing high-efficiency shower heads. Since these water savings will reduce demands on water heaters, households will also save energy. In fact, a household could save 300 kilowatt hours annually, enough electricity to power its television use for about a year. If every household in the United States installed these shower heads, we could save more than $1.5 billion in water utility bills and more than 250 billion gallons annually - enough to supply more than 2.5 million U.S. homes for a year. In addition, we could avoid about $2.5 billion in energy costs for heating water.
