Case Study: How Much Can You Save With Water-Keep?
Dick and Jane are two homeowners living in Cary, North Carolina, where water costs $2.09 per 100 cubic feet (first tier rate). They each buy a large house with a beautiful yard. They each install a 1/4 acre lawn and set up a 2000 square foot garden. Jane heard about the benefits of Water-Keep and she applies the superabsorbent polymer crystals when installing her new lawn and setting up her garden. Dick does not. Let's see how Jane will save over $2,500 in the next 7 years by reducing her outdoor water usage by 50%.
