While the drive for greater energy conservation continues, there's now more interest in water conservation, too! Today you'll learn how high-performance toilets are doing more with less than ever before. It wasn't too long ago that toilets used as much as ten gallons of water per flush. As conservation pressures began to mount, that figure began to dwindle from ten, to six, and then to four gallons. But as water volumes were reduced, so was flush performance (due to lack of power and classic bowl design.) Today, new high-performance toilets offer the best of both worlds with new engineering featuring a massive flush valve and direct-feed jet technology. This allows just 1.4 gallons of water to sweep through with a burst of power that effectively and consistently clears the bowl. Conservation isn't just for energy anymore; it's now a water thing too!
