If you have an old toilet in your home, you may be wasting water and money every time you flush. Low-flow toilets are not only good for the environment but also for your wallet. By switching, you can save a noticeable amount of money on your water bill. You can also take advantage of tax incentives, rebates, and vouchers that some states and municipalities offer to encourage homeowners to replace their old toilets with water-efficient models. 

Low-Flow Toilet Basics

Toilets that use less water operate using either gravity or pressure assistance. In gravity-driven systems, the flapper in the toilet tank moves, and water is released, flushing the contents of the bowl and carrying waste down through the pipes via gravity. 

Low-Flow Toilets Save Water

Low-flow toilets can reduce your water consumption. This means less strain on the water supply and less wastewater treatment.

Low-Flow Toilets Save Money

Low-flow toilets can lower your water bill, leading to more money in your pocket and less impact on your budget.

They Are Environmentally Friendly

Low-flow toilets can reduce your carbon footprint by saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with water production and treatment.

They Are Stylish and Modern

Low-flow toilets come in various designs, shapes, colors, and features to suit your taste and preferences. You can choose from one-piece or two-piece models, round or elongated bowls, single or dual flush options, and more.
