Water-saving and low flush toilets are becoming increasingly popular in Australia, due to the environmental benefits they provide. If you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom fixtures, you may want to consider a low flush or water saving toilet. Here are a few more details.
Economic and environmental benefits
Low flush toilets are a great way to save both water and money by using less water per flush. In fact, low flow toilets can use as little as four litres of water per flush (compared with the standard nine litres used for traditional toilets). This means that not only do you get to save on your monthly utility bills, but also help conserve our precious water resources.
Installation
When it comes to installing low-flush toilets, it’s important to make sure you purchase the right model. Most low flush toilets are designed to fit the standard footprint of a traditional toilet, so installation should be relatively straightforward. However, it’s worth consulting with an experienced plumber before committing to a purchase, just to ensure that your low flush toilet will be suitable for your property and plumbing system. At Simoes Plumbers, we’re Master Plumbers Association members and can complete the entire job to the highest standards. Once the new toilet is installed, you may need to make some minor aesthetic adjustments in order for the low-flush toilet to blend in properly with its surroundings – such as replacing the existing cistern or changing up the colour scheme of the bathroom tiles.
Maintenance
In terms of maintenance, low flow toilets require very little upkeep. As low flush toilets use a significantly smaller amount of water per flush, septic tank emptying (if your property has one) may become less frequent. This in turn results in reduced operating and maintenance costs over time. If your water saving toilet needs fixing, Simoes can help. We can also guide you through the process of selecting an appropriate low flush or water saving toilet. With our expertise, you can rest assured that your low flow toilet will not only be suitable for your property but also help to save both water and money on your monthly utility bills. With proper installation and a few simple adjustments here and there, low flush toilets can be a great addition to any home or workplace – helping to conserve our precious water resources while saving you money in the long run.
