Toilets

Under current federal law, new toilets must not exceed 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf). Toilets built before 1992 may use anywhere between 3.5 and 7 gallons of water per flush.

High-efficiency WaterSense toilets go beyond the standard and use less than 1.3 gpf.

High efficiency toilets combine efficiency with high performance and often perform better than standard toilets in consumer testing.

Over the course of your lifetime, you will likely flush the toilet nearly 140,000 times. If you install a high efficiency toilet, you can save up to 4,000 gallons per year and your children can save as much as 300,000 gallons during their lifetime.
