Old toilets used to flush 3.5 gallons of water each flush! New toilets – required by law in most states – can only flush 1.6 gallons. Two button toilets give you a choice - # 1 flushes 0.8 and # 2 flushes 1.6 gallons *This is another must consider product if you are interested in the environment ! With this simple concept you will drastically cut water consumption by 50%! Water Facts: Did You Know... Presently, 1.1 billion people lack access to improved water supply and 2.4 billion to improved sanitation. Unless action is stepped up, the number of people who lack access to improved water supply could increase to 2.3 billion by 2025. World population is approximately 6 billion. Of all water on earth, 97.5% is salt water, and of the remaining 2.5% fresh water. Some 70% is frozen in the polar icecaps. The other 30% is mostly present as soil moisture or lies in underground aquifers. In the end, less than 1% of the world's fresh water (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct human uses. It is found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and in underground sources shallow enough to be tapped at affordable cost (2). If all the earth's water fit in a gallon jug, available fresh water would equal just over a tablespoon. A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water (3). A person needs 4 to 5 gallons of water per day to survive (4, 5). The average American individual uses 100 to 176 gallons of water at home each day (6, 7). The average African family uses about 5 gallons of water each day (7). Toto Aquia Toilet Aquia™ Dual Flush Toilet, 1.6 GPF / 0.9 GPF CST414M Features: Elongated skirted design, two piece toilet.
