Tip of the Day



Two Flush Toilet Conversion Kit

Got an old water-wasting toilet or a new low-flow conservation model? If it's from the 50?s or before, it uses 7 or more gallons per flush. Toilets in the 60s reduced that to 5.5 gallons. In the 80s, it became 3.5, and over the last 10 years, that was further reduced to only 1.6 gallons per flush. However, with that came reduced performance, clogs, and (often) two flushes to get the job done (thereby defeating the drive for water conservation.) Today, new technology provides more power with less water usage, and a new toilet conversion kit (just introduced) improves any toilet, old or new, with a dual handle two flush system. It provides either a half flush for liquid waste or a full flush for solid waste. The 'two flush? do it yourself kit is easy to install, and improves performance and savings on both older toilets and new low-flow models.
