Aqualine Resources, Inc.

Hospitality/Hotel

Customer: An 800-room hotel located in New York City.

Customer Need
The hotel has seen water and sewer rates in New York City rise dramatically. The annual charges they incur amount to $360,000. The facility asked Aqualine to look at the opportunity to save money by reducing usage without affecting their guest comfort levels.

Aqualine Solution
Aqualine’s engineering study included profiling the hotel’s water consumption against Aqualine’s database of hotels they have worked with. It was determined that implementing a domestic water program would be an effective way to save water while at the same complete an entire maintenance of its toilets. Aqualine installed over 800 tank toilet and flushometer toilet rebuilds, water saving sink aerators, and low flow shower heads. The toilet rebuilds allowed a savings of over 1 gallon per flush while keeping the original toilet intact.

Savings

Dollars saved equates to over $25,000 annually. Over a ten year period this equates to over $300,000 which will fall directly to the hotel’s bottom line.
Gallons saved = 4.1 million annually. Over a ten year period, over 41 million gallons will be saved.

Payback
Payback on the cost of installation is 20 months.
