There are many options to consider when purchasing a new toilet. Gallons per
flush, tankless, round bowlelongated bowl, standard height, tall height, one-piece,
and two-piece models are all available.
Standard toilets manufactured today are ultra-low-flush (ULF) and use a maximum
of only 1.6 gallons of water per flush. The more water-efficient models use .7
to 1.28 gallons of water flush. The amount of water savings adds up quickly; the
difference between the .7 and 1.6 gallons per flush models equals over five gallons
of a water usage a day per person.
Tank and Bowl Style
- Tankless toilets have a sleek, modern look, and many features. These toilets often have automatic or easy-close seats, are slightly higher than standard models, and have a quiet flushing mechanism. The newest development, tankless toilets, are the most expensive.
- One-piece toilets also have a sleek look, work well in small areas, and are much less expensive than tankless models. One-piece toilets are available in round or elongated bowl styles, and a variety of heights.
- Two-piece toilets run the gamut from stylish to standard. Two-piece models are available in the most variety of styles, sizes, and colors. Sold as a set or with the bowl and tank sold separately; they are the least expensive of the three styles and have the widest price range.
No matter what your price range, you will find a large selection of stylish toilets to complement your bathroom.
