Why do toilets operate on 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf)?
The National Energy Policy Act of 1992 mandates that all toilets sold in the United States effective January 1, 1994 shall have a 1.6 gpf maximum. STERLING toilets meet these as well as other local and national water conservation and plumbing code requirements. In fact, we also apply stringent internal testing and quality control standards for all our toilets to ensure their high performance lasts over time. STERLING toilets with Dual Force™ Technology further improve water conservation efforts by offering the option of a .8-gallon flush or a 1.6-gallon flush.
