We made a device to save 45% water consumption

#1
My father designed a couple years ago a device that is based on Bernoulli's Principle to save up to 45% water consumption (Reduces the water flow, keeps the water pressure intact).

The device has been installed in many Hospitals, Hotels and houses in Mexico for some years now, and we made a website to address the US, specially the drought states, where we think we can make more impact among households.

The text on your homepage's above the fold area is absolutely unreadable, either add fading to the background image or change the image completely. It's really hard to read.

Thanks for your feedback! will proceed to make it more readable thanks

You can also try adding some text shadow but I wouldn't add more than 1px. You can try this in conjunction with changing of shading/dimming the image.

How's this different from a standard faucet aerator? Cuts down on water usage but maintains water pressure...can be used in sink faucets, showers, etc..

The standard aerator mixes air with water, so it gives pretty much a false sensation on the comfort, while waterpayless reduces water without introducing air in the flow, giving a real sensation of comfort.

Thanks for you question!

WaterPayless has been certified by EMA (part of EPA) approved laboratories in Mexico, and is in the process of certification in US.

Thanks for your question!
