FAQs
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet (HET) in Petros?
High-efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared with the older 3.5–7 gpf models. This can cut indoor water use by up to 30 %, lower monthly utility bills, and reduce strain on municipal supply and septic systems. Modern HETs also feature improved bowl design and flush valves that provide powerful, clog-resistant performance despite the lower water volume.
How do I know which efficient toilet model is right for my home?
First, measure the rough-in distance (the center of the floor drain to the wall) to ensure the new toilet will fit. Next, consider bowl shape (elongated for comfort or round for compact spaces), height (standard vs. comfort/ADA height), and flushing technology (gravity, pressure-assisted, or dual-flush). Our Petros plumbing team can review your household’s usage patterns and recommend WaterSense-certified models that balance efficiency, performance, and budget.
What is involved in the toilet replacement process?
On installation day our licensed technicians: 1) shut off the water supply, drain and remove the old toilet, 2) inspect and, if necessary, replace the flange and wax ring to ensure a leak-free seal, 3) set and level the new toilet, 4) connect the supply line, test for leaks, and 5) haul away and environmentally dispose of the old unit. A typical replacement takes 1.5–2 hours, and we leave the workspace clean and ready for immediate use.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a water-saving toilet in Petros?
Yes. Many local utilities and the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation offer rebates of $50–$100 for WaterSense-labeled toilets that use 1.28 gpf or less. We stay current on available programs and will provide the paperwork and model information you need to submit your claim, helping you recoup part of the installation cost.
Will a high-efficiency toilet clog more easily?
Not with today’s designs. Early low-flow toilets sometimes lacked power, but modern HETs use redesigned trapways, larger flush valves, and advanced siphon jet technology to clear waste effectively. In fact, many independent tests show premium 1.0–1.28 gpf models outperform older 3.5 gpf toilets in bulk waste removal. Choosing a reputable brand and proper professional installation minimizes clog risks.
How should I maintain my new efficient toilet to maximize its lifespan?
Avoid drop-in tank cleaners with harsh chemicals, which can degrade seals and gaskets. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners for the bowl, and periodically inspect the flapper or canister seal for wear. If you notice continuous running or weak flushing, call us for a quick valve adjustment. With normal care, a quality HET should last 15–20 years while maintaining top efficiency.
