Literally, a pile of broken toilets. We need to save water and installing a dual-flush toilet does contribute towards good water conservation.

Do the math…a $50 rebate against the cost of a dual-flush toilet ranging in price from $179 to $500…(not including installation) is not that compelling to homeowners short of the fact that they are facing a higher water bill or mandatory rationing. But they do it, since it’s the “right” thing to do and they are banking on a payback with with the reduced water bill. And let’s not forget the negative impact on the environment with all those toilets headed for the landfill.
The next logical step: Achieve dual-flush water savings for less than $45 in total and keep your old toilet by simply installing a dual-flush toilet kit into your existing toilet. Why say goodbye to an old friend? Click here for more info on dual-flush toilet kits.
