From simple fixture upgrades to advanced system installations, we make it easy to build a more efficient and resilient place to live, work, and raise a family.

Overcoming Local Water Challenges

Hill Country homes face unique pressures that can lead to water waste. Recurring drought cycles make every drop count, while our notoriously hard water creates scale buildup that reduces the efficiency of pipes and appliances. Aging, inefficient fixtures in older homes can also be silent water-wasters, costing you money every day. Our solutions are designed to tackle these specific challenges head-on.

A Menu of Water-Saving Plumbing Solutions

We offer a range of professional installations designed to maximize your home’s water efficiency.

  • High-Efficiency Fixtures: Installing WaterSense-certified low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads is one of the fastest ways to reduce consumption without sacrificing performance.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: Stop paying to keep a large tank of water hot 24/7. A tankless unit heats water instantly on demand, cutting energy waste and providing endless hot water.
  • Hot Water Recirculation Pumps: Tired of waiting for hot water at the far end of the house? A recirculation pump with a smart timer delivers hot water almost instantly, saving thousands of gallons of water per year.
  • Smart Leak Detection Systems: Gain total peace of mind with a whole-home leak detector. These devices monitor your water flow and can automatically shut off the main supply if a leak is detected, preventing catastrophic water damage.
  • Pressure Management: We can install and calibrate a pressure reducing valve (PRV) to ensure your home’s water pressure is in the optimal range, which prevents leaks and extends the life of your fixtures.
  • Water Softeners: A water softener combats scale buildup, allowing your water heater and other appliances to run more efficiently and use less energy and water over their lifespan.

The Holloway Plumbing Water Conservation Process

We make upgrading your home’s efficiency simple and transparent.

  • Assess: We start by evaluating your current plumbing system and water usage to identify the biggest opportunities for savings.
  • Prioritize: We provide clear recommendations based on return on investment, helping you choose the upgrades that will pay for themselves the fastest.
  • Install: Our licensed plumbers perform all installations to the highest standards, handling any necessary permits and ensuring full code compliance.
  • Orient: We walk you through how your new equipment works, so you can get the most out of your investment from day one.

The impact is measurable. A family of four can save tens of thousands of gallons of water per year by upgrading to high-efficiency fixtures. You’ll also see lower energy bills from reduced hot water demand and enjoy a longer life from your appliances.

Maintenance and Everyday Tips for Conservation

Beyond installations, simple habits can make a big difference. We recommend annual plumbing inspections to catch items like constantly running toilets and small leaks early. Regular cleaning of your faucet aerators maintains strong flow while saving water. You can also set your water heater to 120°F for a balance of safety and efficiency, and only run full loads in your dishwasher and washing machine. There are a lot of everyday maintenance items you can do to help collectively do our part in conserving water. Your Holloway Plumbing eco-professional can help you recognize these opportunities, and implement changes that we can all be proud of for years to come.

Holloway FAQs – Water Conservation Plumbing Solutions

Can a water softener really reduce water use?

Indirectly, yes. By preventing scale buildup, a softener helps your water heater run more efficiently, reducing the energy and water wasted by a struggling appliance. It also makes you use less soap and detergent.

The main pro is instant hot water and massive water savings. The main con is the initial installation cost and a very small amount of electricity usage. For large homes, the benefits almost always outweigh the costs.

Not at all. Modern high-efficiency fixtures are engineered to use smart aerodynamics to deliver strong performance and a satisfying spray while using a fraction of the water.

Upgrading old, high-flow toilets (those from before 1994) to new WaterSense models often provides the quickest return on investment through immediate, significant water savings.
