FAQs
Why should I replace my old toilet with a water-saving model?
Older toilets can use 3.5–7 gallons per flush, while today’s high-efficiency models use as little as 1.28 gallons. Switching reduces household water use by up to 30 %, lowers monthly utility bills, and supports Allardt’s efforts to conserve its groundwater resources.
How much water and money can I save with a high-efficiency toilet in Allardt?
A family of four flushing an average of 5 times per person per day can save about 13,000 gallons of water every year by moving from a 3.5-gpf unit to a 1.28-gpf model. At Allardt’s current average water rate (≈$0.006 per gallon), that is roughly $80 per year, meaning many toilets pay for themselves in less than three years.
What types of water-saving toilets are available?
The main choices are single-flush high-efficiency toilets (HETs) rated at 1.28 gpf; dual-flush models that offer a 0.8-1.1 gpf option for liquids and 1.28 gpf for solids; and pressure-assisted toilets that use compressed air to boost a 1.0–1.2 gpf flush. All are EPA WaterSense-certified when they meet strict performance and efficiency standards.
Will a low-flow toilet perform as well as my current toilet?
Yes. Modern designs use larger trapways, advanced bowl glazing, and optimized water delivery to clear waste in a single flush. Independent tests for WaterSense certification require a minimum of 350 grams of waste removal—far more than typical household needs—so you will not have to worry about double flushing or clogs if the toilet is installed correctly.
Are rebates or incentives available for toilet upgrades in Allardt?
Many Allardt customers qualify for a $50–$100 rebate through the Plateau Utility District when they install a WaterSense-labeled toilet that replaces a pre-1994 fixture. Additional savings may be available during seasonal promotions or through federal tax credits for water-conserving equipment. We can help you collect the necessary purchase receipts and rebate forms at the time of installation.
What is involved in the replacement process and how long will it take?
Our licensed plumbers start by shutting off the water supply, draining and removing your old toilet, inspecting the flange, and installing a new wax or rubber seal. We then set the new bowl, attach the tank, connect the water line, and test for leaks and proper flush performance. Typical replacements take 1–2 hours, and you can use the toilet immediately afterward. We also dispose of the old fixture in an eco-friendly manner.
