Eco Flow
Is there anyway to use a low flow toilet with old pipes?
I live in a little old house from the 60's. The pipes under our house and out to the street are small. I have been told i have to use a high flow toilet for this house other wise our pipes will not clear enough in the flush and cause it to clog. Making it my cost to have it unclogged. Is there anyway i can use a low flow toilet to be more eco-friendly without having this problem? Or do i have to install a 13-litre flush toilet no matter what?
The 1.6 gallon toilet will work just fine. The smaller pipes are actually a good thing. This allows a full scouring of the pipes every time that you flush, preventing clogs.
Even if you would have to flush twice you will still save water. The old toilets were 3.5 gallon per flush (or higher). 1.6 times 2 is still only 3.2 gallons.
Get a name brand. Some of the others do not flush as well. Now that we are into the fourth generation of low flow toilets most of the flush problems have been corrected.
My recommendations would be the Toto Drake or the new American Standard with the 3" trapway.
