Over the years as people update, upgrade their homes, they are becoming more cautious of saving energy and water. Modern toilets are finally catching up. It’s estimated that 30% of the water use in a household is from flushing the toilet.

You might have one in your home or have seen them at a friends or business – the tanks on today’s toilets are much smaller or are gone entirely.

American Standard Mainstream FloWise WaterSense™ High-Performance Round Complete Toilet

I can personally speak to this toilet. I replaced two of them in my home with this one and true to the advertising, after two years, these toilets have saved us money, saved water, and flushed everything a 3 years old can throw in it. As a bonus, the price was perfect.

This unit costs about $129.00 at LOWES!
