How Ecofi and WaterSense Products Maximize Water Savings

Ecofi’s mission is to prove that conservation is good for business. For over eight years, ecofi has partnered with some of the largest multifamily property owners and management firms to implement water-saving solutions that deliver measurable financial benefits. By leveraging WaterSense products, ecofi has saved more than three billion gallons of freshwater and returned over $24 million in savings to clients. These efforts not only reduce utility expenses but also enhance housing affordability for thousands of Americans, making ecofi a leader in sustainable business practices.

The Role of WaterSense Products and AWE in Conservation Success

Ecofi’s success is closely tied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program, which certifies water-efficient products like toilets, showerheads, and aerators. These products meet rigorous performance standards while minimizing water waste. The Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) plays a critical role in supporting the WaterSense program by advocating for sustainable water practices and helping businesses adopt innovative conservation strategies. Together, these initiatives empower ecofi to deliver superior water savings for clients nationwide.

A Case Study: Silverbrook Apartments

One standout example of the impact of WaterSense products is Silverbrook Apartments in Grand Prairie, TX. In March 2018, ecofi installed WaterSense toilets, showerheads, and aerators throughout the community. The results were remarkable: Silverbrook reduced its water bill by 50 percent, saving an average of $365,000 annually.

Joann Beard, property manager at Silverbrook Apartments, shared her experience:
“Although I was skeptical at first, this sure has made a big difference at Silverbrook. I am in disbelief. Everyone is emailing me and asking what happened to the water expense? There must be a mistake. Thanks again.”

This success story highlights how WaterSense products can transform property operations while delivering substantial financial savings.

Rebates Amplify Savings With WaterSense Products

Beyond reducing water usage and utility bills, many cities offer rebates for installing WaterSense-labeled products. Ecofi ensures that clients receive 100% of these rebates directly. To date, ecofi has secured over $375,000 in rebate funding for multifamily properties across the country, further enhancing the value of conservation investments.

Why Water Conservation Matters

Water remains one of our most precious resources, and finding efficient ways to use it is crucial. Manufacturers have developed high-efficiency, low-flow products that conserve water without compromising performance. These innovations make it easier than ever for property owners to adopt sustainable practices that benefit both their bottom line and the environment.

Ecofi’s Commitment to Conservation

Ecofi stands firmly behind the WaterSense program and its mission to help consumers make environmentally friendly choices. By integrating WaterSense-labeled products into multifamily properties nationwide, ecofi continues to drive meaningful change in water conservation while proving that sustainability is good for business.

It’s time to flush the nonsense around WaterSense down the toilet (with one flush, might we add). The WaterSense program helps consumers make environmentally friendly choices, and ecofi is proud to stand behind these products and the impactful conservation programs we’ve built around them.
