High-Efficiency Clothes Washer Up to $150 Rebate

High-Efficiency Clothes Washers (HEWs) utilize technological advances to deliver excellent wash performance while saving both water and energy. Resource efficient models use 35-50% less water and approximately 50% less energy. The water efficiency of clothes washers is rated using the term "water factor" to describe and compare its water use. Water factor is measured by the quantity of water (gallons) used to wash each cubic foot of laundry. A lower water factor represents greater water and energy efficiency. Qualifying Models must have a Water Factor (WF) of 6.0 or less.

Note: Washers must have a water factor of 6.0 or less to qualify. Some washers on this list have more than 6.0 water factor and will not qualify for a rebate.

High Efficiency Toilet (Including Dual-Flush) Up to $100 Rebate

High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6-gallons-per-flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28-gpf.  (The HET category inlcudes dual-flush toilets).  The average water savings for HETs is estimated to be 38 gallons per day (gpd) when replacing a non-ULFT and 7 gpd when replacing a ULFT.

Note: Existing toilets must be 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) or greater to qualify. A high efficiency toilet (1.28 gpf) replacing an existing Ultra Low Flow Toilet (ULFT) that uses 1.6 gpf does not qualify for a rebate.

High Efficiency Urinal Up to $300 Rebate

High-Efficiency Urinals (HEUs) are defined a fixtures that function at 0.5-gpf or less. (The HEU category includes non-water unrinals) Based on data from studies of actual usage, these urinals save 20,000 gallons of water per year with an estimated 20-year life. In addition to saving water and sewer cost, non-water urinals are an improvement over traditional urinals in both maintenance and hygiene.

Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller Up to $900 Rebate

If your conductivity controller is more than 5 years old, it may be losing efficiency. Annual water savings with a new Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller can be as much as 800,000 gallons.This translates into a $4,000 savings in water and sewage costs per tower. Automated monitoring and control are the keys to maintaining cooling system efficiency. By accurately transmitting information to the valves that control the amount of blow down (water drained from the cooling tower reservoir) and subsequent makeup water, a conductivity controller can dramatically reduce operating expenses.

Pressurized Waterbroom Up to $50 Rebate

When you use a hose and nozzle to clean sidewalks, you are using anywhere from 8 to 18 gallons of water per minute. With a pressurized Waterbroom, you will clean more efficiently and use as little as 2.8 gallons of water per minute. The Waterbroom nozzle jets use a combination of air and water pressure, allowing the work area to dry in minutes, helping to reduce liabilities. This new water-saving technology cleans and removes dirt and food spills from concrete, asphalt or any other composite surface. Studies have shown that the Waterbroom requires 75% less labor to operate than a garden hose or broom.
