Are You Ready to Update to a Dual Flush Toilets?

In this day and age, there are few things as important as preserving the environment. Most people assume that they must make big changes to their lifestyle in order to really help the environment, but in reality, all you have to do is make a few small changes, either to your home or to your business, which can really make a difference. In addition to your other efforts, consider installing a dual flush toilet. These toilets are specially designed to conserve water, which is great for the environment and your bank account.

What Is a Dual Flush Toilet?

Dual flush toilets basically have two settings, allowing you to save water when eliminating waste. First, there is a flush level for solids, and then second, a flush level for liquids. Flushing solids usually requires more water than flushing liquids and flushing liquids never requires as much water as flushing solid waste. Anecdotal evidence reports that you can use less than half the amount of water for liquids than is needed for solids.

This means that with one of these toilets, you can significantly save water when flushing liquids. These toilets have a mechanism that allows you to choose which flush to use, so it is easy to change the way you flush and preserve water.

Toilets are notorious water wasters, but because they are a necessary part of our homes, we usually do not think there is anything we can do to change them. The dual flush toilet is the newest advancement in toilet technology that makes your bathroom more environmentally friendly.

Are You Ready for the Switch?

Luckily, switching to a dual flush toilet is as easy as swapping your old toilets for your new ones. You can also modify your current toilet with a kit, turning any toilet into a dual flush version. While these kits are easy to install and relatively inexpensive, they may potentially void an existing warranty on your toilet. For those looking for a quick fix, however, retrofitting old toilets is the way to go. Especially if you are considering upgrading to dual flush for your business, installing kits can be far more cost effective.

On the other hand, there are actual dual flush toilets that you can purchase and have installed. Before selecting one and attempting to install it, contact a qualified plumber who can help you pick the right model for your room and budget.
