Tag: Upgrade to a tankless water heater

97.4k participants
Poll

Should the government be allowed to restrict how much water we use?

Why It Matters

In times of drought or water scarcity, many states restrict water usage for outdoor uses. Texas, California, Arizona, and Nevada have some of the most stringent restrictions, which means residents in those states could greatly benefit from rain barrels (so long as you check on the rules in those states).

How long do you have to run your faucet before the water gets hot?

Why It Matters

Kitchen faucets typically have a flow rate of around two gallons per minute, so it’s easy to waste a few gallons a day if you have to wait for hot water. That can add up on your water bill, and in areas experiencing drought, that water is especially valuable.

How would you describe the quality of your tap water?

Why It Matters

Around 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water worldwide. Even in the United States, millions of people live with tainted tap water, so it’s imperative to find as many solutions as possible to provide a safe source of water for everyone.

How often do you flush your water heater?

Why It Matters

Experts say you should flush your water heater every six to 12 months. But while the costs of an overflowing tank are high, it’s a chore that requires a lot of know-how and effort — or the cash to pay someone else to do it.
