FAQs
What is a low-flow toilet and how does it differ from my existing toilet?
A low-flow toilet is specifically engineered to use no more than 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF), compared with older models that typically consume 3.5–7 GPF. Modern internal siphon and pressure-assisted designs create a strong flush with far less water, meeting EPA WaterSense standards while delivering the same—or better—waste removal performance.
How much water and money can I save by switching to a low-flow toilet in Petros?
For a family of four, a single low-flow toilet can save roughly 13,000 gallons of water per year. On a Petros municipal water rate of about $0.009 per gallon, this translates to $115-$120 in annual savings. Over a 10-year lifespan, you could conserve 130,000 gallons and more than $1,000 on your utility bills.
Will a low-flow toilet have enough flushing power, or will it clog more often?
Today’s WaterSense-labeled toilets use redesigned trapways, wider flush valves, and gravity or pressure-assist technology to move waste efficiently in a single flush. Independent MaP (Maximum Performance) tests show quality low-flow models clear 600–1,000 grams of solid waste—well above everyday household needs—so you won’t see an increase in clogs when you choose a reputable brand and proper installation.
Can my current bathroom plumbing support a low-flow toilet replacement?
In most cases, yes. Low-flow units connect to the same 12-inch rough-in, supply line, and 3- or 4-inch drain stack found in standard residential bathrooms. During our in-home assessment, we verify flange height, shut-off valve condition, and venting to ensure compatibility. If any components need updating (e.g., an aging flange or corroded valve), our team will quote repairs before installation.
What is the typical installation process and timeline?
1. Schedule a free on-site evaluation (30–45 minutes). 2. Select a WaterSense-approved model from our catalog or supply your own. 3. We remove and haul away the old toilet, inspect the flange, replace the wax ring, set and level the new bowl, connect the tank, and test for leaks. Most replacements take 2–3 hours with no water shut-off to the rest of the home. 4. We provide a workmanship warranty and disposal documentation for your records.
Are there rebates or incentives for low-flow toilets in Petros?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) currently offers a $50 rebate for WaterSense toilets rated 1.28 GPF or less. Petros Water Department also waives the $25 permit fee for qualifying fixtures. We supply the paperwork, model numbers, and proof of installation, so you simply mail or upload the forms to receive your rebate within 4–6 weeks.
