Are you in the process of remodeling or selecting hardware for your home? If so, consider upgrading your toilet. Toilet design and efficiency have significantly improved since the 1990s through the advent of low-flow models. A-1 Budget Plumbing has served the residents of Kailua, HI, since 1986. Below, their local plumbers outline why you should consider adding low-flow toilets to your home. 

Why You Should Install a Modern Toilet

Improved Water Efficiency

Want to take 90 to $100 per year off your water bill? Replace your old water guzzler with a high-efficiency model, and watch as the savings cover the cost of the toilet within two years. Local plumbers recommend keeping an eye out for the EPA’s WaterSense® label. These models can help the average family save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year.

Better Performance

Low-flow toilets are designed to flush and drain more efficiently. Though there is a common myth that they have to be flushed multiple times, this is not accurate. Pressurized air in the tank pushes water into the toilet bowl more forcefully, flushing waste away with less water. This innovative design decreases the overall amount of water usage by up to 60% if you’re replacing a model made before 1994.

Modern Design, Similar Apparatus

Low-flow toilets resemble regular toilets. The size, shape, flushing apparatus, and fittings are the same as traditional models, so you won’t have to worry about extensive remodeling work to fit the fixture in your bathroom. The primary difference is within the advanced inner workings of the toilet.
