Teens at Rahway High School audited their school’s water consumption, with a little help from Rutgers, and figured out a way to save 1.6 million gallons of water a year. Now, thanks to the work of the Rahway Water Champions, a three-year-old club at Rahway High School, and a donation from American Standard, the school will save not only water but also money--an estimated $6,500 or more a year.

Terrific case study on off-grid home up in the chilly world of Northern Wisconsin. One of the major challenges for the project was to power the home’s heating system while using less energy than a 200-Watt light bulb. The system today exceeds this seemingly implausible goal, drawing just one-tenth of that 200-Watt target – 19 watts – thanks to unique Alpha circulator pump by our client Grundfos. The system uses Uponor PEX tubing.

But this upgrade saves lives.
