FAQs
What is a water-saving (high-efficiency) toilet and how does it work?
A water-saving toilet—often labeled HET or WaterSense—uses 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less, compared with the federal standard of 1.6 GPF and many older models that use 3-7 GPF. Advanced bowl design, pressurized or dual-flush technology, and larger trapways remove waste effectively while using less water. The result is reliable performance with up to 60 % lower water consumption per flush.
How much money and water can I expect to save by replacing my old toilet?
For a household of four replacing a 3.5 GPF toilet with a 1.28 GPF model, savings average 16,000–20,000 gallons of water per year. At Sunbright’s current water/sewer rates, that equals roughly $120–$150 in annual utility savings. Over the lifetime of the toilet (20+ years), the fixture typically pays for itself two to three times.
Will a high-efficiency toilet fit my existing bathroom without major plumbing changes?
Yes. Most modern water-saving toilets are designed with the same 12-inch rough-in distance and standard floor flange used in the majority of Sunbright homes. Our plumbers verify the rough-in, supply-line position, and clearance around the bowl before installation. In the rare case of a non-standard setup (10- or 14-inch rough-in, wall-mount, or offset flange), we stock compatible models and adapters so no extensive remodeling is required.
What plumbing fixture replacement services do you provide in Sunbright besides toilets?
We offer full bathroom and kitchen fixture upgrades, including high-efficiency faucets and showerheads, low-flow urinals, touchless faucets, garbage disposals, and ADA-compliant fixtures. Each installation includes removal and eco-friendly disposal of old units, new shut-off valves as needed, leak testing, and a workmanship warranty.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A standard toilet swap takes 1.5–2 hours. We shut off the water supply only to the fixture being replaced, so the rest of your home remains fully functional. If multiple fixtures are being upgraded, we stage the work so household water access is interrupted for the shortest possible time.
Are rebates or local incentives available in Sunbright for installing water-saving fixtures?
Yes. The Sunbright Utilities Conservation Program offers a $50 bill credit for each WaterSense-certified toilet installed (limit two per household). Additional rebates may be available for high-efficiency showerheads and faucets. We supply the required documentation and can help file the paperwork so you receive your incentive promptly.
