How your savings are calculated

Step 1 find the cost per gallon

$2.80 fresh water + $2.80 waste water = $5.60 per 1000 gallons

$5.60 / 1000 = $0.0056 per gallon

Step 2 find the difference in usage

2.5 gpm - 1 gpm = 1.5 gallons per minute savings

Step 3 find water savings

1.5 gpm * 13.2 minutes of daily usage = 19.8 gallons daily savings

19.8 * 365 = 7,227 gallons yearly savings

7,227 * 3 years expected product life = 21,681 gallons lifetime savings

Step 4 find money savings

19.8 gallons daily savings * $0.0056 per gallon = $0.111 daily savings

7,227 gallons yearly savings * $0.0056 per gallon = $40.47 yearly savings

21,681 gallons lifetime savings * $0.0056 per gallon = $121.41 lifetime savings
