Case histories
It's true: You are already paying for the ability to save thousands of dollars in facility costs. Where does this budget come from? Savings in your water bill achieved by optimizing the performance of plumbing fixtures.
If our FREE water use audit determines your facility is over-using water, we will develop a retrofit plan outlining your projected savings. We install and maintain our patented water conservation devices at NO EXPENSE to you, collecting our fees from your water bill savings and applicable rebates offered by your utility company.
After we recover our costs, you capture all the continued savings. NovAqua customers typically achieve the return on their five-year investment in less than two years based on water savings alone.
Meanwhile, other value-added savings flow directly to you. These include lower gas bills related to heating water and lower maintenance costs resulting from the superior quality of our equipment.
Here are a few additional examples from among the hundreds of retrofits we have performed.
