Water-Efficient Fixtures
Karney Plumbing Leads the Way in Water-Efficient Fixture Installations for Homes and Businesses
Water conservation is more crucial than ever in today’s world of growing environmental awareness and increasing utility costs. Whether in homes, offices, or industrial facilities, efficient water usage is not just a trend—it’s a necessity. To meet this challenge, Karney Plumbing, a respected name in plumbing solutions, is setting a new standard by helping residential and commercial property owners adopt water-efficient fixtures that promote sustainability and lower costs.
This article explores Karney Plumbing’s initiatives, services, and technologies and the tangible benefits their customers experience when switching to water-efficient plumbing systems.
A Legacy of Service with an Eye on the Future
For years, Karney Plumbing has built its reputation on reliability, expertise, and customer-first service. Founded with the mission of delivering quality plumbing solutions, the company has evolved with the industry. Today, as the world grapples with climate change and resource scarcity, Karney Plumbing has positioned itself at the forefront of sustainable plumbing innovation.
Their latest focus is water-efficient fixture installation, an initiative that combines smart technology, strategic upgrades, and environmentally conscious practices to conserve water without compromising on performance or comfort.
What Are Water-Efficient Fixtures?
Water-efficient fixtures are specially designed plumbing installations that use significantly less water than traditional counterparts. These include:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the average household can save up to 20% on water bills by switching to WaterSense-labeled fixtures. In commercial settings, the savings are even greater when multiplied across multiple units, restrooms, and water-intensive operations.
Residential Installations: Comfort Meets Conservation
Karney Plumbing has helped hundreds of homeowners upgrade to modern, water-efficient systems. Whether it’s retrofitting an older home or including high-performance plumbing in a new build, the company's team works closely with clients to understand their specific needs and lifestyle habits.
Some of the key offerings in the residential space include:
1. Low-Flow Toilets
Modern low-flow toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared to older models that may use up to 5 gpf. Dual-flush options allow users to choose between a low-volume or high-volume flush, conserving water intelligently.
2. Efficient Showerheads
Karney installs showerheads that maintain water pressure while reducing flow rate to 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) or lower. These are optimized for comfort and efficiency, ensuring a luxurious shower experience with less water.
3. Smart Faucets and Aerators
Simple upgrades like faucet aerators can reduce flow by 30% or more. For tech-savvy homeowners, motion-sensor or touchless faucets provide not only hygiene benefits but also water savings by preventing taps from being left running unnecessarily.
4. Leak Detection and Repair
Often underestimated, leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water annually. Karney offers leak detection services that use acoustic sensors and pressure tests to identify hidden leaks behind walls and underground, offering long-term peace of mind.
Commercial Solutions: Efficiency at Scale
Water-efficient plumbing upgrades can benefit businesses across all sectors—from restaurants and hotels to schools and office buildings. Karney Plumbing specializes in commercial installations that adhere to local regulations and help reduce operational costs.
1. Restroom Retrofits
Public restrooms are high-traffic zones where inefficient fixtures can drive up water bills. Karney helps business owners replace older units with sensor-activated faucets and flush valves, low-flow urinals, and ADA-compliant fixtures that save water and improve hygiene.
2. Irrigation Systems
For commercial properties with landscaping, smart irrigation systems with weather sensors and timers can drastically cut down on outdoor water waste. Karney designs and installs these systems by customizing them to soil type, climate, and usage patterns.
3. Grease Traps and Water Reuse Systems
In industries like food service or manufacturing, water treatment and reuse become essential. Karney provides systems that filter greywater for reuse in flushing or irrigation, as well as grease traps that prevent clogs and reduce water contamination.

-
Replacing older showerheads saves the average family 2,700 gallons of water per year.
