Do the new dual-flush toilets really save water?
Over one-fourth of the water used in the average home is flushed down the toilet. Kohler’s new High-Efficiency toilets conserve water without sacrificing performance. The dual flush gives users a choice between .8 gallons for liquid and 1.6 gallons for solid waste. These toilets can save an average family of four up to approximately 10,000 gallons of water/year if the household is using a 1.6 gallon toilet. Savings jump to 25,000 gallons/year with a 3.5 gallon toilet. Many older homes and apartments still use 3.5 gallon toilets.
