Eco Friendly Toilets

Toto has been in the water saving business years before anyone else. Their latest innovation is the dual flush toilet- it has low and high capacity flushes depending on what you need. The larger flush mode already uses very little water, and compensates for it with high pressure angled flushes. This brand also has the most models that are compatible with the Water $mart rebates and are a choice appliance in LEED constructions worldwide.



Kohler is another leader in water efficiency. They recently won the 2009 Watersense Partner of the Year Award. Kohler also takes a strong step outside of traditional toilet design on many models, adding a squared of sense of modernism to many of their models.



Another brand of note is American Standard, which has positioned itself on the cutting edge of visual and environmental design (they are also a Watersense partner). American Standard incorporates oversized flush valves so that even though less water is being used, it is pushed out more forcefully to ensure a clean flush.



Aerated faucets are another key way to save water when you use it. Plumbtile‘s own brand of fixtures features the latest integrated aerator heads in our main line of faucets. The integrated design maximizes efficiency over an installed aerator after the point of manufacture.

Remember to check all available specifications of whichever fixture you’re interested in. Not only should the water output be low, but it needs to be effective as well. What good is a toilet with a low flow flush if you flush three times as normal? Look at the user reviews of our products on the PlumbTile site to help inform your decisions.

How to choose toilet for your bathroom?

Toilet as an important part of bathroom, play an important role inour life. The toilet is a key piece of a comfortable, modern, well-functioning home. Everyone cannot live without toilet every day.So, choose a good toilet is very important.

One-piece, or two?

A "one-piece" toilet is actually six to ten individual pieces sculpted into a seamless, space-saving unit. The result is a sleek, hand-crafted toilet w/ no crevices between the tank & bowl to collect dirt & odors.
"Two-piece" toilets feature the traditional design of a separate tank & bowl which are bolted together upon installation.

The flushing system

In gravity fed toilets, the weight of the water from the tank pushes the waste through an S shaped trap way, as the siphon that is created empties the bowl.

With pressure assisted toilets, air in the tank is compressed as it fills with water. When flushing, the pressurized air pushes the water more strongly into the bowl, resulting in a better flush. Disadvantages, though, include greater noise, expense and difficulty of repairing.

Quality

Look for toilets with a deep, rich coat of glaze, insuring an even, easy to clean glossy surface. Ideally, the internal trapway should be glazed, providing a smooth surface to facilitate the flow of waste & prevent clogging.

Size

Toilets come in varying sizes, so check the width, depth & height of your available space. Also, most toilets bolt to the floor 12" from the wall, but some toilet manufacturers also make 10" & 14" models. Measure first.
