WATER EFFICIENT TOILETS |

You might not be aware of this, but the toilet is one of the biggest consumers of water in a home, with as much as 30% of the total water usage being attributed to the flushing of a toilet. One way in which to lower water usage is to buy and install a more efficient toilet in to your home, and in this article, we will take a closer look at the benefits of water efficient toilets. How They Work? One thing that concerns people when they think about efficient toilets is whether they will work to the same standard as a traditional toilet. Thankfully, the answer is yes they do, as water efficient toilets combine power and high levels of performance with efficiency, making them just as good at clearing the bowl as standard flush toilets. Water efficient toilets work by using less water each time you flush, and most of the models on the market use 1.6 gallons of water per flush, although it is possible to find models that use even less. These toilets will have a smaller cistern that will store less water, so it is a much more efficient way of cutting back on your water usage. Other models of toilets come with a dual flush system. This variation of toilet comes with a dual flush button or handle, and you can choose from a short flush or a full flush. The short flush is ideal for liquid waste that is easier to dispose of, whereas the full flush gives a more powerful flush for the disposal of solid waste. How Much Money Can Be Saved? A standard toilet uses, on average, 3.5 gallons of water per flush, so by switching to a more efficient toilet, one that uses around 1.6 gallons per flush, you could be looking at huge savings on your annual water bill. You will almost certainly recoup the money that you spent on replacing the toilet in the first place. With the costs of water and waste disposal increasing each year, it makes sense to dispose of your old toilet for a more water efficient and modern alternative. Plus, the cost of water efficient toilets has fallen dramatically over the past few years thanks to improved manufacturing techniques and better technology. And you may even be able to receive financial assistance from the state so that you can become more responsible with your water consumption. Ready to Get Started? Call Today For a Free Quote. |
