In celebration of Earth Day, the Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH) launched a website created to educate Canadians about the crucial role plumbing plays in water conservation and to highlight trends and technology in the plumbing industry.
The website, Because Water Matters, contains facts and figures about water usage, in addition to tips and trivia to get Canadians thinking about plumbing and wise-water behavioural changes. The site will also feature CIPH-produced videos showcasing technology and trends in the plumbing industry.
“Our goal is to shatter misconceptions and bridge the gap between principle and practice when it comes to sustainable water use in Canada,” said Ralph Suppa, president and general manager of CIPH, a not-for-profit trade association representing Canada’s manufacturers and wholesaler distributers of plumbing and hydronic heating products.
“Water has always been of paramount importance to our members and through Because Water Matters, we can share their passion for all things plumbing with Canadians and make a real difference for the environment.”
A recent CIPH survey found that: half of Canadians would select a showerhead with high-pressure over one with high-efficiency; nearly four in 10 Canadians still leave the water running while brushing their teeth; and that most Canadians underestimate the annual water savings gained switching to a high-efficiency toilet by more than 17,000 litres per year.
