Dual Flush Toilets in Hotels (60% savings on water bill)
If you've ever been to Europe, you've seen the toilets that have two buttons for flushing: one for a 0.8-gallon flush for liquid waste and another for a 1.6-gallon release of water for--ahem--solids.
A recent New York Times article, "Will Americans Accept Greener Hotel Rooms?" asks why so few American hotels have adopted the dual-flush toilet when such water-salvaging and more eco-friendly loos are standard in hotel rooms around much of the world.
Poor Brian McGuinness, a vice president with Starwood Hotels and Resorts who is responsible for Starwood's eco-friendly Element brand, bears the burden of answering this question on behalf of the American public: Because consumers expressed concern that the dual-flush toilets would not work, the Times quotes him as saying.
It's a toilet. It flushes. End of story. If Europe has been using them for ages, what evidence is there that the water-saving device wouldn't work across the pond?
This logic is even more curious once the Times points out that the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio saw a 60-percent savings on its water bill after implementing the dual-flush toilets--at first leaving the hotel to wonder if its meter was broken.

We flush over 20 gallons of water per day.
According to the EPA, the average household flushes over 20 gallons of water per day, and as a population we flush close to 5 billion gallons of water everyday. To cut back on this staggering statistic we should start using Dual Flush Toilets. Dual flush toilets are mandatory in Australia, and are commonly used in Europe, and China. The US should be next up for the conversion over to the smarter low flow, green, Dual flush toilets.

Dual Flush Toilets "Green"
Dual flush allow two volumes of water to be used. The liquid flush uses 0.8 gallons (half the maximum) of water to flush liquid waste. If you need to flush solid waste you can use the other button which uses the maximum 1.6 gallons of water.
Dual flush toilets are "green" and they make sense whether you are trying to save money or trying to save the environment. If your building a new home or renovating your existing home to be a little greener dual flush toilets are one more way to help out the environment and your wallet.

Dual Flush Toilets can Save you Money
High efficiency aka Dual flush toilets save you money by reducing your water and wastewater costs. Over the course of a lifetime, an average person flushes the toilet nearly 140,000 times. If you install a Dual flush toilet, you can save 4,000 gallons per year and your children can each save about a third of a million gallons during their lifetime. If a family of four replaces one 3.5 gpf toilet made between 1980 and 1994 with a WaterSense toilet, they can save $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilet. If the toilet being replaced was made before 1980, it uses 5 gallons per flush so the savings will be much greater. If you’d like to calculate how much water you can save try the water savings calculator on www.ecotransitions.com.
With these savings, new dual flush can pay for themselves in only a few years. Even better, many local utilities offer substantial rebates for replacing old toilets with HETs.

Green Homes Sell Better.
The Mcgraw Hill Smart Market report cited that consumers are increasingly looking to homes that save energy and water and also feature healthier indoor air. In fact about 42 percent of renovations in 2007 were prompted by environmental benefits. The report also predicted green homes will be on the market for less time and possibly have higher resale value than comparable conventional homes.

What is a dual Flush Toilet
What is a dual flush toilet?
A dual flush toilet is simply a toilet with two different ways to flush it. The full flush uses 1.6 gallon per flush and that is for solid waste. The half flush uses 0.8 gallons per flush and it is for liquid waste.
How does a dual flush toilet work?
The toilet has two silver round buttons on the top of the basin(the back of the toilet which holds the water). The first button is for the full flush and the other is for the half flush. You just press one for the desired outcome.
Is it harder to install a dual flush toilet?
The dual flush toilet is installed in the exact same way that a regular toilet is installed. However, should you have any questions about installation we would be happy to help you through the process.
