The cost of replacing our toilet is an issue we don’t often consider. Are you aware of what the toilet might end up costing? In the wake of this pandemic, many of us have noticed an increase in the cost of water. We’re sure that’s because more of the family have homes and more work at their homes. But did you realize that your toilet is the most significant factor in the water used in your home? Ottawa Plumbing Service has seen a greater need for toilet repairs and replacements.
The toilet in the home has never had a better performance! Regarding your restroom, you should be aware of the following:
1: Age
The largest consumer of water in the average home is the toilet. With the advancements in the manufacture of bathrooms, it is possible to use just 1.28 Gallons of water! Houses with outdated and less efficient toilets could utilize as high as 6 gallons of water per flush!
2: Flushing
Have you ever given any regard to how frequently you flush each day? The typical person flushes five times each day. When you know how much water the toilet uses in flushing, it’s simple math.
3: Leaking Toilets
Wear-out toilet flappers can cause leaks. Flappers are rubber components that typically accumulate with mineral deposits or decay over time. Leaks may leak, but they get not hidden. You can hire an authorized plumber to make repairs to your toilet.
Toilets must get replaced about every 15 years, approximately the same period as your HVAC and water heater. In addition, by installing the water softener in your system, you will increase the life of your toilet by reducing the mineral buildup within the bathroom.
If you’ve noticed an increase in water bills, the odds are that it results from your older toilets.
You may reach Ottawa Plumbing Service by phone at (613) 317-1682 or by email at info@ottawaplumbingservice.com if you’re prepared to replace your toilet and invest in a high-efficiency bathroom.
