Helping out Mother Nature and saving money often go hand and hand. It can be easy to overlook the effect that an efficient toilet has on both our wallets and the environment, but replacing a less than optimal toilet with the help of Flo-Ride Plumbing in Kalispell, MT, will provide you a number of unexpected benefits.

Many households are still using considerably aged toilets. It’s possible that your unit doesn’t adhere to the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which limits toilet flushes to a maximum of 1.6 gallons of water. It’s understandable that a toilet isn’t replaced often, but if your unit hasn’t been updated lately, it could be using up to six gallons of water for each flush. This excess water will lead to a substantially higher water bill, as well as have a greater adverse effect on the environment than a newer model.

Professional plumbing repairs may decrease the amount of water used, but the most economical course of action is to replace an antiquated toilet with a high-efficiency, low-flow unit. These state-of-the-art devices use a mere 1.1 gallons of water per flush. What sets these devices apart is their modern siphon flush technology. Through a tandem of gravity and atmospheric pressure, water is efficiently moved from the top of the toilet tank to the bowl.
