Low Flow Toilet Cost And Water Savings

How much of your household water supply do you think your toilets use?

It’s okay if you have no idea. Most people don’t (but the answer still might surprise you).

a.       60%

b.       10%

c.       25%

d.       5%

The answer is C. Over 25% of your water is getting flushed down the toilet.

Surprised?

It’s true. Conventional toilets can use about six gallons of water per flush. And since the average person flushes five times per day (yes, someone studied this), depending on the number of people in your household, it can really add up.

So, it’s no wonder when the temperatures are soaring in the triple digits, and we’re all looking for ways to conserve water, the loo is one of the first places to look.

And we get why you might want to flush a dead bug down the toilet—you just want it gone and to know it won’t wind up on your pillow later. We get it. But it’s not worth the precious water it takes to whisk it away.
