If you’re in the process of getting a new toilet for your home, you’ll want to think carefully about what type of toilet to install. One option you could consider is a dual-flush toilet. These toilets are different from single-flush variants because you’re presented with two choices, one that’s used for liquid waste, and one that’s used for solid waste. So, is this kind of toilet something that you would consider? Here are pros and cons that come with dual-flush toilets.
Pro: Less Water Usage
If you’re looking for a way to cut down your water bill, dual-flush toilets are a step in the right direction. These toilets tend to use only about a third of the water that standard toilets use. This means your home uses less water, and you can save money on your water bill. This makes dual-flush toilets a cost-effective option for your house.
Con: High Upfront Cost
The long-term costs are beneficial, but the initial upfront cost will be a little more expensive. Bearing this in mind, you’ll want to be sure that you get a lot of use out of your toilet in order to get your money’s worth.
Pro: Modern Appearance
Dual-flush toilets will typically have a more contemporary appearance. This makes them a great addition to people’s homes if they have a more modern-looking bathroom. Also, if you’re having your entire bathroom renovated, you could modernize the other components of your bathroom too, allowing a dual-flush toilet to integrate seamlessly into the design of your new bathroom.
Con: Complex Repairs and Maintenance
Something that makes dual-flush toilets less convenient is the upkeep. Repairing and maintaining a dual-flush toilet is harder than taking care of a standard one. Fortunately, if you find the right plumbing company, they can help you with any upkeep your new toilet may need.
