Flushed with Pride by Ed Del Grande

(View entire post here)

I have been very proud to promote Ed Del Grande's House Call at every opportunity we can. What I really enjoy about promoting the book is the opportunity to teach people as well as spread the news about my book being released.

We have been promoting the book to newspapers, radio and television with some great results. Recently, we have had two high profile appearances on NBC's iVillage in Orlando and CNN's House Call [transcript] in New York City. The new topic that I love to educate viewers on is the "EPA Water Sense" program now available for select toilets.

To qualify for the EPA water sense label a toilet must test at the top of the testing charts for flushing power, but must also flush with at least 20% less water than the present 1.6 gallon per flush code. This is a tall order to fill but there are some select toilets out there that meet these requirements.

Water sense toilets use 1.3 gallons per flush or less and some even get down to only 1.1 gallons per flush. The cool thing is they will still give you that strong flush that we all love to see. Flushing with 20% less water can save the average family, four to six thousand gallons of water a year!

Look for the green "Water Sense" logo when you shop for a toilet or request it from your plumber. Since one of my three Master licenses is in plumbing, water conservation is a big issue for me and I love to travel the country promoting water conservation and hopefully I can get the word out to everyone!

If you have any questions or comments about water conservation, you came to the right place. Ed Del Grande's House call has some very cool conservation information; feel free to join this blog and we can all save some water together!
