MAKING THE SWITCH TO WATER-SAVING TOILETS: WORTH IT?
- Swapped out all the toilets in a 12-unit project last year—water bills dropped noticeably.
- Some tenants complained about flush power at first, but honestly, most got used to it fast.
- Installation was a bit more involved for wall-hung models, but the space-saving was worth it.
- Comfort-wise, I underestimated how picky people are about seat height... had to replace two after feedback.
- If you’re doing multiple units or planning long-term, the savings add up. Just don’t cheap out on the brand—learned that the hard way.
MAKING THE SWITCH TO WATER-SAVING TOILETS: WORTH IT?
Funny, I thought I’d regret switching mine out—old habit of thinking newer isn’t always better. But after a year, the water bill difference actually surprised me. I did have one stubborn clog early on (teenager in the house, go figure), but that was more about “overambitious” toilet paper use than the toilet itself. I do agree on seat height—my dad grumbled nonstop till I swapped his for a taller one. Lesson learned: people care way more about comfort than I expected.

Yeah, the comfort factor is huge—people underestimate it until they’re stuck with a seat that’s too low or awkward. I’ve swapped out dozens for clients, and honestly, the water savings add up faster than most expect. That said, not all low-flows are created equal... some cheaper models just don’t flush as well. Worth spending a bit more for a solid one.

I hear you on the comfort thing—had a project once where the “eco” toilets were practically kid-sized, and nobody was happy. But honestly, when you pick a good model, it’s a win all around. The water bill drop is real, and code requirements are only getting tighter anyway. I’d say don’t cheap out... mid-range or higher usually means fewer clogs and less complaining from tenants or buyers. Learned that the hard way!
MAKING THE SWITCH TO WATER-SAVING TOILETS: WORTH IT?
Yeah, I’ve seen those tiny “eco” toilets too—definitely not a crowd-pleaser. But you nailed it: pick a decent model and the complaints drop off fast. The savings add up over time, and honestly, it’s less hassle with inspections down the line. Just gotta avoid the bargain bin stuff... learned that one myself.
