Water Efficient Toilets

Water Efficient Toilets

Your Shower May Be The Biggest Tool For Water Conservation

Another way to limit the amount of water used in the shower is to switch to a low flow showerhead. Low flow showerheads available on the market today are emitting amounts of water as low as one gallon per minute. Older showerheads can emit as much as five or more gallons per minute. Those with fancier bathrooms with the multiple showerheads aimed to get every crevice of your body naturally takes up even more water. The purpose of a shower is to get rid of toxins and dirt off of your body. Using more than one showerhead is extremely wasteful in the long run, especially if used every day. Taking luxurious baths and showers every now and then can be indulged in, as long as it is not part of your daily routine.

While we're on the subject of low flow devices, another thing you can do to help conserve water is switching to a low flow toilet. Before the 1950s, toilets used as much as seven gallons of water per flush. Toilet companies, backed by government and municipal water regulations and laws, have improved our water efficiency since then, and standard toilets nowadays usually take about two gallons per flush. The latest low flow toilets are designed to take about 1.68 gallons per flush, which can amount to a large amount of water in the long run, especially if you have a big family.

A bad habit that we do sometimes is leave the water in the sink running while we go about shaving, washing our face, or brushing our teeth. If you are shaving, you can fill up the sink no more than halfway with water to rinse off your razor between strokes. Swish the razor around when it's submerged in the water to get rid of the debris between the blades, especially if you have a multiple-blade razor. If you are doing your daily facial cleansing, then make sure the water is not running when you are scrubbing that exfoliating cream on your face. If you are brushing your teeth, make sure you turn the water off. Now, this may seem like common sense, but an astounding amount of people leave the water running without thinking about it simply because they forget to turn it off. Leaving the water running when it shouldn't be on adds up to gallons and gallons of wasted water.

Do your part to help conserve this precious resource for your well-being and for the well-being of future generations.

need to buy a new water effiency toilet does anyone have suggestions?

My home has the original toilets in them which makes them 44. It's time to up grade even though they flush fine, But they flush using 3.5 gallons of water each time. Kohler and American Standard are the brands I was interested in. One that looks good (not a hat box) is water efficient and tall. Any one with any info I would love to hear... good and bad experiences please. thank you

Both Kohler and Am-standard make very good products....I personally think Kohler is over rated and a kind of designer name you pay extra for compared to good old Am-standard...It totally depends on what you like---go look in Home Depot or Lowe's at the displays...I dislike the ones that use the pressure tanks, They flush like a commercial toilet-are a nightmare to repair---and if you flush while sitting on them will feel like you are getting your bottom area purged... One thing you need to check is your rough measurement---which is your finish wall to the center of your sewer line--these varied in older homes-and this may limit your choices or put you in special order zone... For ny own use---i allways pay a bit extra and buy a solid lever- i just like the feel and look compared to the flimsy plastic lever most toilets come with.

For only $25.95 and about 15 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, you'll be saving a lot of water and money too. Our Dual Flush Kit will save 1,000's of gallons of clean water every year. NOW!! OUR WATER SAVING FILL VALVE TO SAVE EVEN MORE WATER! It works in ANY toilet. With the introduction of low flush, H.E.T., and dual flush toilets, a lot of attention was placed on attaining an adequate flush with a reduced volume of water. Unfortunately many of the manufacturers of these toilets didn't look at the bowl fill aspect of water savings. In our tests we have seen that some newer toilets overfill the bowl by as much as one gallon. What that means, is that a 1.6 gallon toilet, in some cases, is in reality a 2.6 gallon toilet. The average waste in a 1.6 gallon toilet has been about a quart and a half. If you figure 24 flushes a day that's over 8 gallons of needless waste each and every day. Or over 2900 gallons a year. This is a literal hole in the dike that nobody talks about! Similarly, when used in older 3.5 gallon toilets or even 5 gallon toilets, the savings is phenomenal. In an older toilet there is as much as a gallon and a half that just goes down the drain, each and every flush. This water doesn't fill the tank, it doesn't fill the bowl, it just goes down the drain! Day after day, year after year! Features Now with our Water Saving Fill Valve for a limited time Fits most3.5 gallon to 5 gallon 1 piece toilets and most 1.6 gallon 1 piece toilets. Fits Low Profile Toilets that have a tank height of 8 1/8" Piston Flush System makes toilets flush better with less water. Adjustable flow rates in both the half and full flush mode
