Stop Flushing Money: The Truth About High-Efficiency Toilets

If your toilet was installed before 1994, you are literally flushing money down the drain with every use. Older toilets use 3.5 to 7 gallons of water per flush (GPF). In a household of four, that adds up to thousands of gallons of wasted water every year.

At Next Level Plumbing Inc., we often hear homeowners in Nevada say, “But low-flow toilets don’t work!” That might have been true in the 1990s, but technology has changed. Modern high-efficiency toilets are powerful, clean, and can cut your water bill significantly.

The 1.28 Gallon Revolution

Modern toilets use just 1.28 gallons per flush. How do they clear the bowl with so little water? It’s all about velocity. Engineers have redesigned the trapway (the exit pipe) to be larger and smoother, and they use a “jet flush” action to push waste out rather than just relying on gravity.

Look for the Label

Not all low-flow toilets are created equal. When shopping for a new fixture, or when asking us to install one, always look for the WaterSense label.

This certification ensures you don’t have to double-flush, which defeats the purpose of saving water.
