Would your car fit in a shower?
Because we use the same amount of fresh water to wash your car
as you use to take a shower!!
At Purdy's Car Wash, our commitment to conservation leaves local
water more plentiful. Our reclomation system recycles abut 200 gallons
per car we wash. Reducing our trash water usage to about 25 gallons
per car. Take a look at these figures from the National Resource
Conservation Service.
The Average American uses 140-160 gallons of water a day.
Showering and bathing is one of the largest uses (35%) of water
domestically. A bath uses 50 gallons of water. Showerheads without
conservation devices use 5 to 10 gallons per minute.
A leaky toilet can waste more than 50 gallons of water per day.
A faucet dripping at the rate of one drop per second wastes 2700
gallons per year.
