Did you know that for most homes, more water is used through the toilet than any other appliance or fixture? Even showers and your washing machine may use less water than your toilet. It is estimated that a third of all water used in most homes is flushed down the toilet. When a toilet leaks or is an older, less efficient model, the amount of waste can be even more. Replacing your toilet can be the most effective way to reduce water usage in your home, saving a vital natural resource while also reducing your water and energy costs.
So what makes newer toilets more efficient? It all comes down to the design. Larger flapper valves, redesigned trap ways and longer flush valves in new efficient toilets have improve the function of these fixtures while decreasing water use. With these new improvements, many of the newer efficient toilets can garner a large savings in water use, up to 20% in many cases. This savings can be reflected on your water bill and ensure you are doing your part in helping reduce water waste.
Don’t continue flushing water and money down the toilet with an old, inefficient model. Upgrade to a new toilet that will help reduce your water use while offering higher functionality for your home. Although replacing a toilet is a quick plumbing service, it does require expertise to ensure it is installed correctly. An improperly installed toilet can lead to even bigger problem such as water damage to your flooring if it is not sealed correctly. Contact your local plumbing company to discuss which of the newer options will work best for your needs and schedule a professional installation.
Be sure that your new toilet is installed correctly and properly sealed so that it will last for many years to come.
