Dual-flush toilets use less water for liquid waste and more for solid waste. Here is what Conway homeowners should consider before upgrading.
How dual flush works
A dual-flush toilet has two buttons: one for a light flush and one for a full flush. The light flush uses roughly half the water of a standard flush, which adds up fast in a busy household.
The savings
Toilets are the biggest water user in most homes. In Faulkner County, a dual-flush unit can cut toilet water use noticeably over a year, especially in a family bathroom that gets heavy use.
The tradeoffs
The lighter flush sometimes needs a second push for solids, and some early models had more mechanical parts to fail. Newer designs are far better than the first generation.
Installation
Replacing a toilet with a dual-flush model is the same job as any toilet swap — new wax ring, proper seating, and a level flange. hard water is common across the region, and older neighborhoods still have galvanized supply lines A pro can do it in about an hour.
Upgrade smartly
If your toilet is old anyway, dual flush is a good reason to replace it. Call 888-217-3585 and Conway Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Conway pro for a clean install.
