Switch to a Water-Saving Toilet

If there’s only one thing you can afford to replace in your bathroom, I would suggest it would be your toilet. If you haven’t renovated your bathroom since you bought it 10 years ago, chances are you’re still using a toilet that uses as much as 5 gallons or 19 liters per flush. In a normal household, that means an average daily water use of twenty-four gallons of water, a lot of water that is being wasted! Most new toilets now require only 6 liters to flush. Some newer toilets require just 4 liters.

Today’s newer toilets have been redesigned with stronger siphonic action and higher water velocity. These design changes enable them to have efficient flushing action while using just 6 or 4 liters of water. While it may cost a little bit more expensive than the old ones, it’ll pay for itself in water savings. You can save as much as 30% in indoor water use, and save you about a hundred dollars a year. You not only save money, you’re saving the environment as well.
