Water Saving Toilets
Green Home, Thinking Green, Video by Danny Lipford
Toilets typically waste more water than anything else in the house. To combat this problem, check to be sure your toilets are working properly, and repair toilets that leak. Replacing water guzzling toilets made before 1992 (check the stamped date inside the lid), with newer models that use 1.6 gallons or less per flush, can cut the water they use in half. For even greater savings, consider a duel-flush toilet which uses less than one gallon per flush. For more on saving water, see our article on Water Conservation in the Home.
