What To Look For When Picking A Toilet!



When choosing a toilet what important features do you want? Well from a Plumbers perspective the key things to look for are, gallons per flush aka "gpf", bulk removal with out clogging, and cleanliness. Gpf is important because on older model 3.5 gpf toilet lots of water is being wasted with every flush. Water conservation is important because 97% of our water in the world is salt water and 2.5% of our fresh water is locked in our ice caps. So that leaves only .5% of fresh water available for use. So taking a step to more High-Efficiency toilets is important to preserve our fresh water source. When switching to 1.28 gpf toilet many customers hesitate to switch because they think performance will be compromised and the toilet will not remove any waste. Well with new technology and advancements in the flush valve the 1.28 gpf provides even better performance that the older 3.5 gpf. With this new technology the cleanliness is improved and I know this feature is important because no one likes embarrassing strikes left behind. So what toilet would a professional recommend that provides all these key features.
