Kitchen and Bath Hydration station Haws, distributed in Canada by Dobbin Sales Inc., has an answer for the municipalities that are looking at banning the sale of bottled water. The new Hydra tionStation is a hands-free sensor operated bottle filler that operates when a bottle is placed under the antimicrobially protected dispenser and stops automatically for a drip-free fill. It hooks up to a municipal water line and, using state-of-the-art filter technology, polishes tap water into pure, refreshing drinking water that is on par with bottled water.

The company showcased its green program, which also includes im proved processes for reducing the company’s ecological footprint, at the 2009 International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas Jan. 20-23. Efficient bath faucets Today all Delta residential lavatory faucets flow at 1.5 gallons per min ute at 60 pounds per square inch. All Delta residential bath faucets, like the Lahara model in bronze shown here, now flow 1.5 gpm. A majority of Delta pro ducts also meet U.S. Environ ment al Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense water-efficiency standards. In the commercial sector, all Delta lavatories have a 1.5 gpm outlet as standard – with the option of 0.5 gpm for further savings. In addition to contributing LEED credits, commercial metering products also provide reassurance that the faucet won’t be left running. Delta also offers a wide range of electronic, hands-free activa tion faucets for the commercial sector. Efficient shower heads In both residential and commercial showers, Delta’s H2Okinetic tech nology changes water droplet size and velocity, as well as thermal dynamics, resulting in a warmer, more drenching shower experience. When paired with water conserving properties, it will deliver the feeling of a standard 2.5 gpm shower at a 1.5 gpm (at 60 psi) flow rate, and decrease water usage by 40 percent. By installing a water-efficient showerhead, a household with four people can potentially save an estimated 10,000 gallons of water per year, reports the manufacturer. Here’s how it works: eight minute shower X 2.5 gpm (standard shower) = 20 gallons per shower • eight minute shower X 1.5 gpm (water-efficient showerhead) = 12 gallons per shower • eight gallon savings X 4 persons/day X 365 days/year = approximately 11,680 gallons (44,000 litres) saved per year. The technology is also incorporated into body sprays and jets found on Delta jetted and custom systems with multiple outlets. A custom shower with four body sprays using H2Okinetic technology will save four gpm over one with conventional shower heads.
