Toilet talk on The Clark Howard Show

It's time for some toilet talk on The Clark Howard Show, but don't worry, we won't be getting any FCC fines! Clark has wanted to reduce the amount of water he uses at home. So he had his second low-flow toilet put into the house. He went from using 3.5 gallons/flush to 1.1 gallons/flush! Home Depot is running a special in select markets where they'll install a low-flow toilet (starting at around $100) for a $59 fee. In some places, you can get a government rebate if you outfit your home with water-efficient devices. Clark's latest toilet even has 2-buttons: One that delivers a 1.1 gallon/flush and another for 1.6 gallons/flush. Here at the radio studio, they recently installed several waterless urinals. Are you looking for other ways to cut your energy budget at home? Make sure your attic is properly insulated.

What others are saying

  • Save even more water!
    Caroma Dual Flush toilet give you the option of using 0.8gpf or 1.6 gpf, which result in significant savings. Plus, with a full 4" trapway, you can kiss the plunger goodbye! Caroma is an australian company that invented the Dual Flush technology in the 1980's with a 90% market share in Australia. These award winning toilets are now available in Georgia. Best regards, Andrea Paulinelli
  • Another low flow option
    I just built a house with two power assisted dual flush toilets (1.1G/1.6G). If you're concerned about your waste departing the premises promptly, this is a great option! Not too noisy either. I installed the Mansfield Ecoquantum 148-119. The pressure of the flush also seems to leave the bowl cleaner.
