Are you wondering what to look for when buying a toilet? Well there are a few things to consider.

  • Color: You can find a toilet in any conceivable color to fit a bathroom, everything from white to pink. If you can’t find it at the store ordering one is just as simple as doing a little online research.
  • Style: There are two main types of toilets, round and oval.  This is simply just a style choice as both of them work exactly the same. All that matters is what will look good in your own bathroom.
  • Design: If you’re eco friendly then you have a few toilet choices. The first and most common is a low flow toilet. It uses much less water than a traditional one.  Moving up the price scale there are toilets that expand on the low flow principal. Popular in Europe are dual flush toilets. Luckily they are becoming more and more popular in the US.

A dual flush toilet has two buttons on the top of it, one for solid waste and one for liquid waste. Flushing a liquid takes much less water than a solid so why waste the extra water when you don’t have to?

If you’re seriously concerned about the environment you can find composting toilets. These don’t use any water but instead naturally degrade the waste.  They aren’t widely available though and you’ll have to check the local building codes first to ensure you can install one.

Color style and design are what to look for when buying a toilet. You can find one that will suit any household need. Installing a new toilet is a simple task that can be accomplished in under an hour. All you need to do is pop the old one out and put in the new one.
