Are You Flushing Money Down the Drain?
If you have an older, inefficient toilet in your home or business, the answer could be yes! Did you know that the average toilet uses 3.5 gallons of water per flush – gallons that YOU pay for each month, on your water bill? That might have been okay, back in the day, but plumbing technology has advanced significantly. Low flush toilets can accomplish everything your current toilet is doing — and on average, use 1.25 gallons of water.
When You Use Less Water, You Save More Money!
Your Framingham plumber can be your best friend here. Simply swapping out your old toilet — which can be responsible for over 20% of the water used in your home! — with a low flush toilet can reduce your water use significantly.
Let’s think about it: The average toilet uses close to 20 gallons of water per day. That’s five or six trips to the bathroom over the course of a day. If you live alone, that’s not too terrible — but then you start adding in your spouse, the kids, the kids’ friends who are over hanging out. Before you know it, that ‘average’ number goes right out the window! Business owners have an even tougher situation — how many times do customers use your bathroom?
Your Framingham Plumber Can Help You Save Money!
You can’t stop people from using the bathroom. What you can do, however, is make getting the job done less expensive for you. A low flush toilet does the same job, using far less water. This efficiency is due to the toilet’s design: some low flush models use air pressure to facilitate the flush, while dual flush toilets offer homeowners more complete control. You can use a small flush when you need a small flush, and when you don’t need a small flush, there’s a full flush option, which uses more water when — and only when — you need it!
This means you’re not spending your hard-earned dollars flushing water down the drain. Let’s be real here: isn’t there something you’d RATHER spend money on? A lower water bill means more money for other things: groceries, gas, even back to school supplies for the kids.
