Interactive Data: Dozzle vs Hose-End Sprayer, The Numbers That Started It All
The average hose-end sprayer wastes over 400 gallons of water a year just to fight turf stink. FoamZyme? Just 14. That’s a 99% water savings—no hoses, no soaking, no guilt.

How We Got the Data
We didn’t pull these numbers out of thin air. We set up a side-by-side experiment:
Measured water output per use for both sprayers
Calculated annual totals based on typical turf-cleaning routines
Tracked solution usage and bottle counts over time
It turns out that small differences in how you apply cleaner add up to big impacts—on water bills, plastic waste, and the planet.
Small changes in how you clean add up fast—on your water bill, your plastic waste, and the planet.
See for Yourself
We built an interactive chart so you can plug in your yard size and habits. The math updates instantly—sometimes it’s more than 400 gallons saved per year.

Nerdy Details (for the curious)
FoamZyme per use: ~1.2 oz for 100 sqft
Water per use: just 8.8 oz
One 32 oz FoamZyme bottle = ~26.7 uses, covering ~2,667 sqft
Hose-end: ~8.25 gal per 100 sqft, 7.5 uses per bottle
At 4 uses/week, that’s 208 uses/year: water = 1,716 gal, cost = $416
From One Yard to One Billion Gallons
That 400-gallon savings per household got us thinking:
What if 100 households switched?
1,000? 10,000?
It’s not unrealistic to hit one billion gallons saved. That’s how the One Dog. One Human. One Billion Gallons. campaign was born. Every Dozzle sold moves the needle.
Why It Matters
Daily routines are busy. That’s why the best solutions fit right in.
If you already pick up after your dog, adding a 10-second spray is almost nothing—but together, it’s everything.
One Dog. One Human. One billion gallons.
