But lowering your energy bills isn’t just good for your pockets, it’s good for the environment too.
Lowering your energy bills, is an example of the butterfly effect in action.

Most power plants are still burning coal, crude oil, or other fossils fuels, so that means you’re helping to protect the air quality and even helping to prevent climate change.

4. Saves Water

Unlike the traditional dishwashers that most commercial kitchens use, the FOG Tank only needs to be emptied and refilled every 3 months. This is much less frequent than a typical soak tank that requires emptying and refilling every 3-4 weeks.
Saving water saves you money, and if you’re interested in making your kitchen operations more energy-efficient, the restaurant FOG Tank is indispensable. But don’t forget about the other benefits of saving water. When commercial kitchens use let water, this means there is less water diverted from our rivers, bays, and estuaries, which helps to preserve our environment. And because it reduces the amount of water that is processed and delivered, it saves energy and, as we mentioned earlier, therefore reduces pollution and conserves our fuel resources.
