Greenversations Green Plumbers Combat Climate Change and Plumber Perception
Posted by: | CommentsCame across an interesting post about GreenPlumbers® on the EPA’s blog: Greenversations Green Plumbers Combat Climate Change.
It strikes the Professor that media coverage about GreenPlumbers doesn’t include the usual “cracks” about plumbers. In this article, Greenversations equates GreenPlumbers with superheroes–albeit Luigi of Super Mario–but still, recognizing the plumbing profession as a critical and valued link the fight to preserve freshwater resources. Greenversations lists the actions that superhero GreenPlumbers take:
- Water audits
- High efficiency product and equipment upgrades
- Installation and maintenance of greywaterand rainwater catchment systems.
Georgia’s first certified Green Plumber, Nick Marine, of Marine Plumbing, does all the above, as well as solar installations across the Southeast.
Not Enough Water in the Bowl? Scout, the Toilet Drinking Dog Tells All
Posted by: | CommentsWith some water saving toilets, there isn’t enough water in the bowl.
Then there’s Scout’s bowl. Scout, the Toilet Drinking Dog, is quite satisfied with the water spot on the Cadet® 3 FloWise Toilet which saves 20% more water than Scout’s previous favorite water hole, an older 1.6 gallon per flush.
If you’re reading this, the Professor assumes that you do not drink out of toilets. The benefit of larger water spots for humans is a cleaner bowl with less streaking.

World Class Plumber for World Plumbing Day

Green Plumber Nick Marine at the Pentagon with (l to r) Vice Admiral Dirk Debbink, NERA Executive Director Stephen R. Sandy, Nick and Force Master Chief Ronney A. Wright
Nick Marine is one plumber who truly understands what it means to protect the health of the nation. Not to mention protecting the freedoms and natural resources of our nation.
Owner of Marine Plumbing in Marietta, GA, Nick is the 2010 volunteer president of the Naval Enlisted Reserve Association (NERA) ,the only military and veterans organization helping enlisted reservists. Nick divides his time between his business and Washington D.C., recently shutting down his business for two weeks so his plumbers could completely renovate an executive and VIP/special guest bathroom at NERA’s Fall Church headquarters.
“After I was elected National President of NERA, I wanted to make an immediate contribution,” recalls the third-generation master plumber. “I started with what I knew best, which was bathroom plumbing.”
Nick also donated part of his fees last fall to assist American Standard in retrofitting 21 homes in the Atlanta-metro with water-saving showerheads and WaterSense labeled toilets and bath faucets. The volunteers seemed to like Nick as much as they liked the new products:
“This is a fascinating project and the plumbers that American Standard are using are superb. I would use them for anything. Marine Plumbing, Nick Marine and Tony Little 770-426-8060.”
In his own words, Nick Marine explains why he became Georgia’s first Green Plumber:
Champion 4 Toilet Delivers Happy Customers–No Callbacks–for Dunbar Plumbing
Posted by: | CommentsDunbar Plumbing, a leader plumber in northern Kentucky, cites “simple design and powerful flushing action,” as reasons why the Champion 4 Toilet is one of Dunbar’s best selling flushers. Below is their own video showing the amount of water in the bowl and exclusive Accelerator Flush Valve inside the tank:
In their own words, on their forum, Dunbar Plumbing explains the benefits of the Champion 4 toilet:
“With the American Standard Champion 4 toilet, our customers have been extremely pleased with the flushing action of the toilet with a “no worry” attitude about what possibly gets thrown down the toilet. This toilet uses a small fraction of water compared to the older 1.6 gallon toilets including the 3.5 gallon flush toilets. Now that these new style toilets use so little water compared to the wasteful 3.5 gallon toilet, it’s a no brainer that those older toilets were such a costly design. We’ve watched the advancements in the technology grow over the past 25 years and it has been a road hard paved with good intentions to finally get a good working, good flushing toilet.” Read more at the Dunbar Plumbing Forum.
