MAKING THE SWITCH TO WATER-SAVING TOILETS: WORTH IT?
I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, I’ve had a different experience. We switched out all the toilets in our rental units last year—some of them pretty old—and the water bill savings were noticeable right away. There were a few hiccups at first, but after tweaking the flush valves, things settled down. Maybe it depends on the brand or how old your pipes are? For us, the long-term savings outweighed the initial hassle.

I hear you, but in my experience, those “savings” can be hit or miss. We put in some high-end water-saving models during a remodel, and honestly, the flush just isn’t as powerful. Sometimes it takes two flushes, which kind of defeats the purpose. Maybe it’s the older plumbing, or maybe I just notice these things more, but I’m not convinced the trade-off is always worth it, especially in a luxury setting where expectations are higher.
