FAQs
What qualifies as a low-flow toilet and how much water can it save compared to my old model?
A toilet is considered “low-flow” when it uses 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared with older fixtures that often use 3.5–7 gpf. By upgrading, a family of four in Harrison can save 13,000–16,000 gallons of water every year, trimming as much as 25 % off the bathroom portion of the water bill.
Will a low-flow toilet have enough flushing power for my household?
Yes. Today’s WaterSense-labeled toilets are engineered with pressure-assisted or optimized gravity technology that clears the bowl in a single flush. When we install a new fixture, we calculate drain line carry, bowl wash, and trapway size to ensure reliable performance—even in multi-story homes with older cast-iron stacks common in Harrison’s pre-1960 housing stock.
How long does it take to replace an existing toilet with a new low-flow model in Harrison?
Most standard swaps take 1–2 hours once the plumber is on site. This includes shutting off water, draining and removing the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting the new toilet, reconnecting the supply line, and leak-testing. If the flange is damaged or the shut-off valve is corroded, the job can extend to 3–4 hours.
Can I retrofit my current toilet to be low-flow instead of replacing the whole fixture?
Pressure-assist conversion kits and dual-flush drop-ins exist, but they rarely reduce consumption below 1.6 gpf and can void manufacturer warranties. Because true low-flow performance depends on bowl and trap design—not just the tank mechanism—we recommend full replacement. That way you get certified WaterSense efficiency, full factory warranty, and reliable flush volume.
Are there rebates or incentives in Harrison or Westchester County for installing WaterSense-certified toilets?
Yes. As of this year, SUEZ/Veolia Water customers can claim a $75 rebate per WaterSense toilet (limit two per household), and Con Edison’s Multifamily Program offers additional incentives for landlords. We file the paperwork for you and provide the model numbers and UPC codes needed to secure the credit.
What maintenance does a low-flow toilet require and how can I prevent clogs?
Maintenance is minimal—periodically check the fill valve, keep the bowl jets clear of mineral buildup with a non-abrasive cleaner, and avoid “flushable” wipes that can lodge in the smaller trapway. If you experience slow draining, try a plunger first; augers and chemical drain cleaners can damage the porcelain glaze. Our Harrison plumbers offer an annual inspection that includes dye-tab leak tests and tank-component adjustments to maximize efficiency.
