Ultra Low-Flow Toilets use 1.6 gallons of water per flush (gpf) – and is the standard for all toilets manufactured since 1994. High Efficiency Toilets use 1.28 gpf or less. Toilets manufactured earlier than January 1, 1994, use between 3.5 to 7 gpf. By participating in this rebate program, you could save approximately 9,000 gallons of water per year, while at the same time knowing you are doing your part to conserve water.

Toilet Performance Test Results
The Maximum Performance (MaP™) testing project was undertaken in 2003 in order to identify how well popular toilet models perform using a realistic test media, soybean paste, closely replicating the "real world demand". Performance testing of several hundred different toilet fixture models was completed and summarized in the latest report.
WaterSense® Labeled High Efficiency Toilets.
Look for the WaterSense label! Old, inefficient toilets are responsible for most of the water wasted in homes. Replacing these toilets with high-efficiency models (HETs) could save gallons per day. So whether you're remodeling a bathroom, building a new home, or simply replacing an old, leaky toilet, a WaterSense labeled HET is a high-performing, water-efficient option worth considering.
