When the time has come to pick up a new toilet for your home, you’ll find that there are a lot of choices out there these days. How do you select the one that is right for you? You can start by checking out our list of tips:
Splurge a Little
Although the selection and installation of a new toilet isn’t nearly as complicated as other HVAC decisions you’ll make for your home, it’s still one to take seriously. The unit you choose will likely be around for years to come, so it doesn’t hurt to spend a little more for the sake of quality.
Check the Reviews
There are quite a few brands and plenty of styles to choose from, so the first thing you should do is take a look at reviews. Consumer Reports is a great source, but you can also find consumer reviews on Amazon and retail websites of your favorite stores.
Save Water with Low Flow
If your main concern is saving water with each flush, then you’ll definitely want to consider purchasing a low-flow toilet. In the past, consumers have been concerned with the fact that low-flow models didn’t take down all the waste after one flush, but modern units don’t have this problem.
Save Money with High Efficiency
If you are dedicated to conserving water, and want to maximize your monthly water usage savings, then you definitely want to look at the high-efficiency models. These toilets are more costly upfront, but will pay for themselves rather quickly by lowering your bills.
Increase Height to Increase Comfort
What is left to discuss after saving water and lowering bills? Your comfort, of course. If you are a bit on the tall side, have trouble sitting and standing up, or simply enjoy maximum comfort, then a taller model of toilet may be just what you need.
