How does the sink save water?
Access to the clean water that would otherwise go unnoticed into the drain system (toilet bowl) can be considered a conservation of water. When used as a finger rinse, an additional use of tap water is eliminated (this can add up to gallons of water per day). Even when not used as a finger rinse, the pleasurable and soothing presence of a fountain is an added benefit, gained from otherwise wasted water. Most importantly, the sink provides a visual indication of a sometimes “stealth”-like leak within the toilet’s plumbing system. Undetected toilet leaks have been calculated to account for an amazing 5% of our nation’s water supply.
