Turn Your Old Toilet into a Water Miser without Replacing it

SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T DO YOURSELF

CALL THE PROS

The newest toilets use only 1.28 gallons per flush. They save water but they're not cheap. I'm testing new parts for Roto-Rooter and I recently replaced all of the guts inside the most used 1.6 gallon toilet in the house. I replaced the fill valve with a new valve that uses less water, has a leak detection system and automatically cleans the tank of scale and debris (not the bowl).

Next I installed a new dual-flush system that allows users to press one button for a low-power half flush that easily expels urine. A larger button handles solids and wads of toilet paper using a full flush. So far, so good. My toilet is now using a fraction of the water it used to at a fraction of the cost of a new toilet. This is one of the best bathroom plumbing solutions I ever saw and the most sensible toilet repair Cincinnati ever saw!

My water bills will no doubt reflect the savings. Roto-Rooter can install these and other sensible water-saving parts as we go greener than ever before.
