FAQs
What is considered a high-efficiency toilet and how much water can it save in Seymour?
A high-efficiency toilet (HET) uses 4.8 litres per flush (Lpf) or less, compared with older 13–15 Lpf models found in many Seymour homes. Over a year a family of four can save 25,000–35,000 litres of potable water—about 25-30 % of a typical household’s indoor use—while also lowering water bills and reducing demand on Goulburn Valley’s water supplies.
Are rebates or incentives available in Seymour for upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet?
Yes. Goulburn Valley Water periodically offers a Small Appliance Rebate that covers WaterSense/WELS 4-star toilets, and the Victorian Government’s Water Efficient Products program provides up to $100 per fixture when stock is available. We complete and submit the paperwork for you, and we’ll supply a Certificate of Compliance as proof for the claim.
How long will my toilet replacement take and will my water be off for the whole time?
A standard replacement takes 1.5–2 hours from shut-off to testing. The main water supply is off for 20–30 minutes while we disconnect the old cistern and connect the new valve set. We schedule appointments in two-hour windows so you can plan around the brief outage. Complex jobs (flange repair, floor levelling) may extend the visit to half a day, but we will advise you after the site inspection.
Can a high-efficiency toilet clear solid waste as effectively as my current model?
Absolutely. Modern HETs use pressure-assist or advanced siphon jet designs that deliver a stronger initial surge of water, clearing waste in a single flush. All products we supply meet or exceed the MaP (Maximum Performance) score of 600 g, which is higher than most legacy 6/3 L dual-flush units. We also match bowl shapes and trapway sizes to your household’s needs to eliminate the risk of clogs.
What is the cost range for a high-efficiency toilet upgrade in Seymour?
Inclusive of supply, labour, new isolation valve, wax/rubber seal and disposal of the old unit, prices start at $680 for a basic close-coupled 4-star model and run to $1,450 for skirted, rimless or smart-flush designs. Costs can be reduced by $50–$150 if you qualify for a rebate. All prices are fixed once the on-site quote is accepted and carry a 2-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty.
Do you remove and recycle my old toilet, and how is it disposed of?
Yes. We take the old porcelain to a concrete and brick recycler in Shepparton, where it is crushed for road base—keeping approximately 40 kg of waste out of Seymour landfill. Metal parts are separated and sent to a scrap-metal facility, and any residual water in the cistern is safely drained onsite to prevent spills in transit. This service is included in every installation package at no additional charge.
