What are some benefits of WaterSense high-efficiency toilets?
Saving Water Dual-flush high-efficiency toilets use 1.6 gallons per flush for a full flush and 0.8 gallons per flush for the reduced flush. Studies show that dual-flush toilets average 1.3 gallons per flush. Pressure-assist toilets use a little under 1 gallon per flush. The U.S. EPA estimates that if you replace your home’s older toilets with WaterSense labeled models, you can save 4,000 gallons per year, indefinitely. The National Association of Homebuilders reports that while toilet tank components require some maintenance, toilet fixtures themselves have an unlimited lifespan. Performance After the performance troubles of first generation low-flow toilets of the late 1990’s, concerns of needing to double and triple flush water-saving toilets have haunted the toilet industry. The U.S. EPA’s WaterSense program has set high performance standards to cast aside these concerns. Design advances have enabled WaterSense labeled toilets to save water with no trade-off in flushing power. In fa
