Hansgrohe

Hansgrohe Croma E75 Green 1 Jet

Hansgrohe has taken WaterSense?s ?I?m for Water? pledge. The K&B leader launched an exciting initiative on Monday through facebook (facebook.com/hansgroheusa) and twitter (@hansgroheusa) and has been offering water saving tips and techniques. The fun and interactive campaign also offers fans a chance to win a low-flow showerhead and chat live with an expert.

Hansgrohe plans to round out the week with a link to its useful Water Savings Calculator, which visually and numerically displays how much water and money can be saved by opting to use its low-flow products. Hansgrohe is proud to be a partner of WaterSense^? and offer over 220 certified products.

At the beginning of the week, Hansgrohe gave away a stylish and water-conserving Croma E 75 Green1-Jet showerhead to the first 250 facebook users who answer the question ?What does water mean to you and how do you save it??on Hansgrohe USA?s wall.? (Sorry I wasn?t quicker to get that one to you. )

According to a representative of the company, they?ve ?been seeing tremendous response!?
