Tommy Linstroth announced American Standard's Water Saving Retrofit Results during 23 media interviews yesterday from, where else? The bathroom!
Low flow delivered high satisfaction with at least 25 percent in water savings for 21 homeowners in two suburban Atlanta communities who volunteered to replace their existing plumbing products with high-efficiency WaterSense®-certified models.
If it comes as a surprise that people are finally happy with low-flow toilets, that was the point of this mass retrofit last fall that included replacing 71 toilets, 96 faucets and 55 showerheads in 71 bathrooms.
Our client, American Standard Brands, announced a commitment of $1 million over a two-year period to The Nature Conservancy. The contribution will be used to educate consumers about how they can save water and fund global freshwater conservation programs. Great cause, and also a highly-rated water charity to support. We look forward to working with them.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization with more than 1 million members. American Standard’s two-year agreement/partnership is in support of the Conservancy’s mission in the area of global freshwater conservation.
