How To Choose a Toilet.

A single flush toilet is one of the most common toilets youu2019ll see. These toilets have a single handle attached to the tank that you pull down to initiate the flush cycle. This single handle, once pushed, allows for the same force and amount of water each flush. A dual flush toilet is less common but offers extra features. Usually, these toilets either feature one handle or two buttons. The single handle can be pulled up or down to initiate the flush cycle, depending on the type of flush needed. These toilets also offer two buttons instead of a handle. These buttons are usually labeled u201cIu201d and

  1. How to choose a toilet — The Basics Whatever you call it, the bathroom toilet is one of the most important items in your house. While the color and cost matter, how much water it uses and how well it flushes matter more. A good one conserves water and generates enough power to clean the bowl in a single flush. (A bad one can be a 20-year pain in the butt.) This article will help you choose a high-performance dunny that will fit your bathroom, budget and backside. You might want to check out these 50 mind-blowing toilets before settling on what you want.

  2. A new generation of low-flow models Since 1994, low-flow toilets that use 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) or less have been the federal standard. The first generation of low-flow toilets sucked—or rather, they didn’t. That’s mostly because manufacturers tweaked a few things to reduce the amount of water used but didn’t change the basic design. You had to flush the darn thing twice (so much for water savings!). But 15 years later, more of these toilets actually work. Manufacturers have made significant design improvements such as larger trap-ways to prevent clogging and larger flush valves that allow a more powerful rush of water to enter the bowl. The following tips will make choosing a new bathroom toilet a lot easier.

  3. How Much Do New Toilets Cost? You can get a “contractor special” cheap toilet for less than $75. But everything from the working parts to the quality of the glazing will likely be low quality. And don’t expect a powerful flush from cheap toilets. You’re going to use your toilet every day for years, so get a good one. Plan to spend $100 to $500 for a best no clog toilets and $225 to $600 for a pressure-assist model.

  4. Shop Plumbing Supply Houses and Bathroom Showrooms Home centers offer some but not all of the top-ranked toilets.. For the widest selections in makes and models, visit bathroom showrooms and check online retailers. Consider Future Repair Costs Custom seats and unusual flush mechanisms add a cool factor, but they’ll cost you time, money and frustration if they ever need replacing. A replacement custom seat, for example, costs more than $100 (if you can even find one years later).

  5. Solve a sweating tank problem If a sweating, dripping toilet tank has been a problem with your current can, choose a pressure-assist model. Since the water is held inside an inner tank, the outer tank won’t sweat. Or if you prefer a gravity toilet, order one with factory-installed tank insulation for an additional $50 to $100 (depending on the model).
