Water Saver
Dual Flush Retro-Fit Toilet Kit---FLUSH CHOICE™
In today's economy, we are all trying to cut costs and save money. Conserving water is not only helping reduce our costs in our homes and businesses, it is also allowing us to become eco-friendly conscious.
A Dual Flush Toilet is one that allows you to choose to flush with half the normal amount of water or a full flush when needed. The vast majority of toilet flushes only require a small amount of water to clean the bowl. For a family of four it is estimated that a Dual Flush Toilet can save up to 20,000 gallons per year! Why flush your money down the drain year after year with rising water costs?
Over the last few years, we have seen the new dual flush toilets come into new construction/remodels for homes as well as businesses. The only problem with these new toilets is that they seem to be quite high in price, therefore, it takes awhile to see our ROI (return on investment).
Currently, the majority of homes and businesses have the 2 piece toilets and in order to have a dual flush toilet, it was/is required that you replace your existing toilet. This can become quite costly with the purchase, installation and take into account that your bathroom flooring will have to be re-done to match the new style of toilet.
Dual flush retrofit valve kits give the following benefits:
.Saves money on your water utility bill
.Saves our precious water resources
.Reduces the polluted septic water
.Cuts down on required chemical and energy used in the purification process
.Retro-fits and upgrades existing toilets-no need to buy new toilets
.Fits almost all two piece toilets
.You can select and vary the amount of water used
.Can be installed by anyone using the simple instructions
.Can be professionally installed for much less cost of a new toilet.
Your overall savings will depend on the age of your toilet. If you currently have older toilets, and most of us do, with a 5 gallon capacity tank-your savings will shock you. For any of the newer model tanks, say 3.5 or 1.6 gallon size, savings will be more than substantial.
One study documented dual flush water savings with flush volumes reduced by 68 per cent in single-family dwellings, 56 per cent in office washrooms, and 52 per cent in restaurants. Total water savings will vary depending on frequency of use (for example, a coffee shop registered an average of 143 flushes per day).So that's how this revolutionary new product works and how it can start saving you money from the day it's installed.
Installing a dual flush toilet kit is one of the easiest ways to become eco-friendly and save money and water at the same time. You will defiantly see your ROI in just a few short months. If you consider yourself handy around the house and can follow simple step by step instructions, you will see your ROI much sooner. If you would rather have it professionally installed, your local plumber can install it for the cost of a service call.
When choosing your dual flush kit, you will find there are a several different brands on the market and you will want to make sure you find one with a good warranty. Having a good warranty of at least 5 years on the product will assure you the brand you choose is going to last. Remember, the unit is going to live in water and having the warranty of at least 5 years will assure you that the manufacturer is confident in their product.
