However, manufacturers have worked diligently since that time to redesign and reengineer their products to achieve both efficiency and performance.
The former “low-flow” toilets of the 1990s were sometimes associated with performance issues (e.g., double flushing) and poor user satisfaction.
WaterSense Bath Hack #3 shows how easy it is to Replace Your Leaky Toilet Flapper. To see how easy it is check out our WaterSense Bath Hack Video. Flappers are inexpensive rubber parts that can build up minerals or decay over time. If your toilet has a leak most likely it is due to an old or worn-out toilet flapper (e.g., valve seal) which can cause leaks. Household leaks can waste 180 gallons per week. Nationally, if all old, inefficient toilets in the United States were replaced with WaterSense labeled models, we could save 360 billion gallons of water per year, or the amount of water that flows over Niagara Falls in about 9 days. By replacing old, inefficient toilets with WaterSense labeled models, the average family can reduce water used for toilets by 20 to 60 percent-that's nearly 13,000 gallons of water savings for your home every year! They could also save more than $140 per year in water costs, and $2,900 over the lifetime of the toilets.
