Water is not only a substantial utility cost, but water scarcity and more frequent droughts demand better conservation practices.
We review opportunities to conserve water and, thereby, reduce water and sewer costs. Our clients are often able to be good corporate citizens while obtaining a good Return on Investment on the work undertaken.
Plumbing retrofits for our client base includes an array of retrofit opportunities. Over the years, Bottom Line has utilized dozens of technologies and has the experience and knowledge to recommend the "best" technologies that provide the greatest savings and highest reliability. The most significant retrofits include; High Efficiency Toilets (HET) that flush from .8 to 1.28 gallons; high efficiency urinals that use from 1/8 gallon to "0" gallons; low-flow showerheads and aerators, hose bib restrictors and other water saving devices. Water savings can be as much as 75% with the "best" products with increased reliability and performance.
Landscaping also uses a large amount of water each day. Our approach here is unique in the industry as we review both the irrigation hardware as well as the landscape and plant materials. Bottom Line can provide hardware changes that increase the efficiency and application of landscape irrigation. Weather-based irrigation controllers, more efficient sprinkler heads, and rain sensors can reduce your water usage by 30% or more.
In addition Bottom Line can review the existing plant materials and make recommendations to remove higher water use plants, such as turf, and replace with lower water using plant materials. We provide complete design and construction services to "re-invent" your landscape. Not only saving you water and money, with this complete program, but giving your landscape a new and modern look.
For correctional facilities, we can provide the unique ICON plumbing control systems which reduces water usage and controls the inmate abuse of plumbing systems. Not only do these retrofits provide significant water savings but they reduce maintenance and increase the security of any jail or prison.
We will review other opportunities in laundry, ice machines, medical equipment and any cost-effective and practical retrofit to reduce water usage.
