A dual-flush toilet can be a great investment for your home. These kinds of toilets are more eco-friendly, helping you conserve water and cut down on your utility bills, all while still optimizing performance. Before you get a dual-flush toilet, however, there are considerations you’ll want to make.
What Style of Dual-Flush Toilet Do You Want?
Dual-flush toilets are available in multiple different styles, such as one and two-piece sets, as well as wall-mounted variants. Consider the layout of your bathroom so you end up with a style of toilet that suits your room the best. You want the toilet that you pick to go well with the other decor and fixtures in your bathroom.
Think About the Flush Mechanism
Some dual-flush toilets use levers in order to flush them, while others will use a button instead. Think about which option is more convenient for you, and settle on a toilet design accordingly. You want the flushing mechanism you pick to be as convenient and easy to use for everyone as possible.
Consider the Toilet Bowl Height/Shape
Dual-flush toilets can have elongated bowl shapes, or round bowl shapes. Elongated bowls can offer people more comfort, and round bowls can fit into smaller areas more easily. Regarding the height of your dual-flush toilet, you want to settle on a height that’s comfortable for as many people as possible. There are “comfort-height” toilets that are available, and these toilets are a little taller than average, making it easier for those with limited mobility to use.
Check Your Toilet’s Water Efficiency Rating
Toilets come with different water efficiency ratings, and you want to be sure that the dual-flush toilet you pick has a good rating in order to help you save water. Check the gallons per flush (gpf) rating of all toilets you’re considering, and see which one can save you the most water overall.
