With today’s technology and manufacturing standards, there are several different toilet fixture options available to homeowners. Increasingly gaining in popularity, are high efficiency toilets via Water Matrix.
To the average homeowner, the only seeming difference between a high efficiency model and its lower priced counterpart may just be cost. However, there are several differences that every homeowner should be aware of in making the proper choice.
Originally when the 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF) toilets were manufactured, they were inefficient at flushing waste placing a stigma around higher efficiency models that were created.
A High Efficiency Toilet by definition is a model which only utilizes 1.28 GPF or less. Despite the misconception that the use of less water will inhibit the disposal of waste, today’s high efficiency models do just that – flush wastes utilizing less water.
Generally within these high efficiency toilets, there are three options available, single flush, dual flush and pressure-assisted models. A single flush model is exactly what it states and generally uses gravity to assist in disposing of waste with less than the mandated 1.28 GPF.
The dual flush model uses “smart assisted” technology in having its user have the preference of less than a gallon flushes for liquid waste versus using a bit more water volume for other wastes.
