FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading to a water-efficient toilet in Duff?
Older toilets manufactured before the mid-1990s typically use 13–20 L of water per flush. Modern high-efficiency and ultra-high-efficiency models use as little as 3–4.8 L. In Duff, where municipal water rates have risen steadily, that difference translates into noticeable savings on every bill. A family of four can reduce indoor water use by up to 30 %, lowering costs, easing pressure on Duff’s water treatment system, and helping the community meet conservation targets.
How much water (and money) can I actually save?
Savings depend on your current fixture. Replacing a 13 L/flush toilet with a 4.8 L high-efficiency model saves about 8 L per flush. At an average of five flushes per person per day, a household of four saves roughly 58 m³ per year—about the volume of a backyard swimming pool. With Duff’s current combined water and sewer rate of roughly $2.90/m³, that’s around $165 in annual utility savings. Ultra-high-efficiency toilets (UHETs) that use 3 L/flush push those savings even higher.
What types of water-efficient toilets are available?
1. High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) – 4.8 L/flush single-flush models that meet EPA WaterSense and Canadian Water Efficiency standards. 2. Dual-Flush Toilets – Offer a 3 L flush for liquid waste and a 4.8–5 L flush for solids, letting users match water use to need. 3. Pressure-Assist Toilets – Use compressed air to boost flushing power while using 4 L or less. Ideal for high-traffic bathrooms. 4. Ultra-High-Efficiency Toilets (UHETs) – Gravity or vacuum-assist designs that use 3 L or less per flush. Our technicians assess your plumbing rough-in, drain line slope, and user preferences to recommend the best option for your home or business in Duff.
Will a low-flow toilet clog more or require extra flushes?
Modern water-efficient toilets rely on redesigned bowls, larger trapways, and optimized siphon action—not just reduced water volume. Independent MaP (Maximum Performance) tests show many HETs clear 600–1 000 g of waste per flush, well above the average 250 g needed in real-world use. When installed properly on a vented 100 mm drain line, a quality WaterSense-labelled toilet should not require double flushing or more maintenance than a standard model.
What is the process for replacing my old toilet with a high-efficiency unit?
1. Consultation – We measure your rough-in (typically 12 in/305 mm), check flange height, and discuss style, height, and flushing technology. 2. Product Selection – We offer WaterSense-approved models that fit your budget and décor. 3. Removal – The old toilet is drained, unbolted, and responsibly recycled. 4. Installation – We install a new wax or rubber seal, level the toilet, secure bolts to manufacturer torque specs, and connect a braided stainless supply line. 5. Testing – Multiple test flushes confirm leak-free operation and proper bowl clearance. 6. Disposal & Cleanup – We haul away packaging and leave the work area spotless—all within a two-hour service window for most homes in Duff.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Duff for installing a water-saving toilet?
Yes. The Duff Water Conservation Program currently offers a $75 credit on your utility bill for each WaterSense-labelled toilet rated 4.8 L/flush or less (limit two per household). Commercial customers may qualify for a $125 rebate per unit when replacing toilets that use 13 L/flush or more. You’ll need the original receipt, proof of residency or business licence, and a photo of the installed fixture’s model number. We provide all required documentation and will even submit the rebate application on your behalf.
