••
Current water use as calculated using Equation 3-3.
••
Water use after replacement as calculated using Equation 3-3.
Equation 3-4. Water Savings From Urinal Replacement (gallons per year)
= Current Water Use of Urinal –Water Use of Urinal After Replacement
Where:
••
Current Water Use of Urinal (gallons per year)
••
Water Use of Urinal After Replacement (gallons per year)
Payback
To calculate the simple payback from the water savings associated with replacing an
existing flushing urinal, consider the equipment and installation cost of the replace-
ment flushing urinal, the water savings as calculated in Equation 3-4, and the facility-
specific cost of water and wastewater.
