Save on Water Bills: A Comprehensive Guide to Efficient Toilets
Reducing water consumption at home is a smart move, both for the environment and your wallet. One of the best ways homeowners in the Denver area can achieve this is by upgrading to efficient toilets. Melissa R., a satisfied customer of Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, shared her experience, stating that a simple fix saved her from unnecessary water bills[1]. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the benefits of efficient toilets, how they work, and why you should consider making the switch.
Why Switch to Efficient Toilets?
Water-saving toilets, particularly those labeled as WaterSense certified, use significantly less water than older models. Traditional toilets often use up to 3.5 gallons per flush (GPF), whereas modern efficient models can use as little as 1.28 GPF. This transition can lead to a dramatic decrease in household water usage, translating to tangible savings on utility bills.
The Environmental Impact
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if every old, inefficient toilet in the U.S. were replaced with a WaterSense model, the country could save over 520 billion gallons of water annually. This isn't just about saving money—it's a crucial step towards sustainability, ensuring that water is preserved for future generations.
Technological Advances
Today’s toilets have come a long way in terms of technology and efficiency. Dual-flush toilets, for example, allow users to select a lighter flush for liquid waste and a heavier flush for solid waste, further optimizing water use. Pressure-assisted toilets and gravity-feed toilets have also enhanced flushing power while maintaining low water usage.
