Water Efficient Products and Appliances

Are you a homeowner interested in learning how to implement more water efficient products into your household? If so, Barner Murphy of Bucks County can help you learn more about new products and new appliances that will help you on your way to designing a more energy efficient home. Even if you’re not new to household upgrades, you can still learn something new by chatting with our team, or by viewing the products on our website.

One of the most important points to remember when seeking water efficient products and appliances for your home is that some brands have specific labeling to ensure their efficiency standing. It’s a good idea to make sure that whatever product you choose has been verified by the EPA for meeting appropriate standards (look for WaterSense label).

Since a household toilet is often the main source of water use in a home, it goes without saying that investing in a water efficient toilet, preferably a newer model that uses less water per flush, is a wise choice for your household. Reducing toilet water usage is one of the best ways to get on track for a greener home environment. A product called the Five-Year Toilet Flapper works to ensure that less water is wasted. Another product called the Water Bank Toilet Dam is also a good option when it comes to water efficient products.

Other appliances such as innovative shower heads also help to reduce the amount of water that you might be using in your particular home. At Barner Murphy, we can help explain how these products and appliances work, and we can give you suggestions about which might work best in your home. ​Give us a call: (215) 945-8560

Autocirc Pump

For those people who are established homeowners and even for those who have just purchased their first house, it can be of use to understand the benefits of an Autocirc pump. At Barner Murphy, we can help you decide if an Autocirc pump suits your particular needs, and we can help you find one that fits your particular home.

The Autocirc pump was originally designed with an efficient, permanent magnet motor. The purpose of the design was to ensure that it could be utilized with potable water systems. Because of its unique design, the Autocirc pump works fine with retrofits and no recirculation pipe is required. The Autocirc pump is controlled by both a thermostat and a timer.

If you are interested in learning more about the Autocirc pump, we can help you answer any questions. The pump has a built-in temperature sensor which turns on the pump when the water temperature inside your home’s water supply line reaches 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Likewise, the pump also turns on when the water supply in your home’s water supply line reaches 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Another feature of the Autocirc pump is its automatic timer. What’s more, the pump also serves to help decrease the water waste that usually results from silent leaks in toilets. An annual inspection of your toilets can help determine of you have any silent leaks caused by defective toilet parts. In addition, you can also check that no faucets are leaking, and that you have the most energy efficient washer installed in your home. High efficiency washers use up to 75% less water than conventional washers.

Ways to Conserve Water

Did you know that there is more than one way to conserve water in your home or building? While many people assume that the best way to conserve water is to simply reduce overall usage, there are other, lesser known tips and tricks that can help cut down on water costs, and help conserve one of Earth’s most precious resources.

For one, most standard shower heads have 2.5 GPM, but there are other, more efficient shower heads that output as low as 1.25 GPM. At Barner Murphy, we like to assist our customers with finding the most water efficient products at the most competitive prices, especially when it comes to water conservation. If you’re looking to upgrade your old shower head, or simply replace it for a more efficient shower head, we can help you find a product that suits your needs.

It might not be common knowledge, but swapping toilets from the old 3 gallon models to the current 1.28 gallon models saves most families an average of 17,000 gallons of water per year. Years ago, the popular 1.6 gallon toilets usually had to be flushed at least twice to clear the toilet bowl completely. Nowadays, you don’t need to worry about these issues because of more efficient toilets. It’s no secret that the industry has come a long way and perfected its products so that modern, 1.28 gallon toilets operate much more efficiently.

One more tip for conserving water is to make sure that you don’t turn on your faucet and run it in an effort to get hot water. It’s estimated that the average family wastes up to 18,000 gallons of water every year waiting on hot water. One way to avoid this issue is to install a hot water recirculating pump. Newer models can even be retrofitted to match the needs of an older bathroom.

Bathroom Remodeling for Bucks County

Have you been thinking about remodeling your bathroom, but unsure of where to start? Barner Murphy of Bucks County has been an industry leader for years, and we pride ourselves on giving our customers professional plumbing and bath remodeling services. We’ve got a few tips for the novice. 

What’s important to remember is that if you attempt to remodel a bathroom on your own, you’ve got to do it right, or a series of unwanted headaches can result in return. Budgeting ahead of time will help you stay focused on your project, and can help you keep on target with your plumbing, as well. A professionally remodeled bathroom provides a homeowner with years of added life, and it also improves the aesthetics. 

Now, let's talk about bathroom remodeling trends. One of the trends nowadays is to hide the toilet. A functional, yet pleasing bathroom can exist without the toilet being in plain view. Some remodelers like to do what’s referred to as a “Room in the room” style remodel, or even tuck the fixture behind a half wall. You can also get creative and place a piece of furniture inside the bathroom to serve as a sort of barrier. Some people have used dressers or desks to create a unique, artistic flair.

When it comes to bathroom sinks, porcelain is a big hit, although it does have a tendency to chip. Other popular favorites are stainless steel sinks, as well as enamel-on-steel sinks. Some people even opt for what are known as solid surface sinks, which function so that the sink can be incorporated into the countertop and vanity. You can even connect them to the backsplash, as well.

If you’re ready to remodel the bathroom countertops, the big favorites now are quartz and granite. While these two used to be big in the kitchen, they’ve now made their way into bathrooms all over the country. These two surfaces provide both durability as well as visual appeal. If you’re not interested in quartz or granite, you can always opt for traditional favorites.

As always, we can provide you with a wide variety of plumbing needs, whether you’re looking for a full installation, or just need help getting started on your remodel. Call us for a free quote: 215-945-8560

Busted pipes and flooded homes are one reason to consider hiring a skilled, professional plumber as opposed to trying to tackle a plumbing job on your own.

This is why it’s always a good idea to hire a professional who has several years of experience on the field. At Barner Murphy, we pride ourselves in providing quality work for anyone who requests it.
