What To Consider When Buying A New Toilet

The first thing that needs consideration is rough-in design. For example, to ensure your toilet fits your space, a measurement needs to be taken from the wall to the floor bolts. This is your rough-in size, and most are 12 inches. Next, you'll need to pick either an oval, egg-shaped bowl or a round bowl. Oval bowls are usually more comfortable, and round bowls usually take up less space and are great for small bathrooms. Finally, seat height is critical because your toilet could be with you for the next 20 years or more, so seat height is all about comfort. Standard heights are 14 - 15 inches, but they also come in 16 - 17 inches for those who are tall or have mobility issues. 

There Are Several Things To Consider When Purchasing A New Toilet

The Energy Policy Act was signed into law by President George W. Bush. This statute established a mandated federal maximum flush volume of 1.6 gallons each flush for new toilets. This law became effective on January 1, 1994, for residential structures, and on January 1, 1997, for commercial structures. As a result, low flush high-efficiency toilets used far less water than toilets used in the mid-80s. Prior to the mid-1980s, conventional flush toilets in the United States generally used about 6 gallons of water every flush. But there were problems with the early toilets; they required two flushes in many cases, especially for solid waste. Fast forward to the latest low-flow toilets where we no longer have to compromise performance. They now outperform their water-guzzling counterpart. Dual flush toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) for liquid waste and 1.6 GPF for solid waste.
