High Efficiency Vs Low Flow Toilets What To Buy

Every week it seems we are faced with the question of what type of toilet is the best and which one qualifies for rebates and discounts.

In terms of the rebate it's not so cut and dry; it all depends on which water district you are part of. The different water districts offer credit on your water bill ranging from $300 to as little as $50. The rebate amount is largely dependent on what type of toilet you purchase and the age of the toilet you are having removed.

Typically if you are removing an old pre-1992 3.5 gallon per flush toilet and replacing with a high efficiency, better known as a HET 1.28 gallon per flush toilet, you'll qualify for some sort of rebate. If you're only replacing it with a 1.6 low flow type toilet you likely won't qualify under the new stricter rebate guidelines.

So let us say you have done your research and figured out whether you qualify for a rebate or not, which low flow type toilets perform the best.  Now before you start complaining and say something like, "Ten years ago we purchased one of those low flow toilets and the thing couldn't flush a single piece of toilet paper….not a single piece damn it. We use to plunge that thing after every single night," let me calm your nerves and assure you that the new low flow 1.6 and HET 1.28 toilets have all the power to get the job done. You can finally let go of those terrible toilet plunging nightmares that you've been hanging on to.

Among the HET 1.28 toilets our favorites are the Toto Eco-Drake and the Pro Flow HET Dual Flush. The Toto Eco-Drake with its attractive styling and powerful flush capability make it a top choice amount homeowners. The Toto Aquia, similar to the Drake, is another popular HET toilet. It's different from the Drake in that it's a dual flush toilet. The only problem with Aquai is that it only comes in elongated and Toto don't make an ADA model yet. So there are some limitations when it comes to install.

Another great HET toilet is the ProFlow Dual HET. At about, $375 installed it's a steal. What we like so much about the ProFlow HET Dual Flush is that even at a great value it has all the same flushing power as more expensive toilets. In terms of styling the ProFlow is your typical toilet; I've never had a client scream that it is the most amazing toilet they'd ever seen, and at the same time I've never had a client complain that they couldn't stand the sight of it.

Low flow 1.6 gallon per flush toilets do not make a whole lot of sense with the newer HET toilets. But if you insist, as they are a little cheaper, here are a couple options. Toto makes the standard Drake toilet which has been our most popular deluxe grade toilet for the past 5 years running. It's a great toilet, especially if you add the soft close seat option. For a more standard level toilet you can't go wrong with the Kohler Wellworth, it's powerful, inexpensive, and has good styling.  Most people can find the Kohler Wellworth at the big home centers but be careful as the home center models are built slightly cheaper with more plastic parts than the exact same model your contractor will pick up at a specialty store.
