Do you know why these new
toilets
have two buttons ?
-
Old toilets used to
flush 3 to5 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
gallons and # 2 flushes 1.6 gallons
-
Considering a
household can flush almost 40 % of their
water down the drain - this new
technology not only conserves fresh
water but reduces demand on septic and
sewer systems - saving you money!

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.
- 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.
- A person needs 4
to 5 gallons of water per day to
survive.
- The average
American individual uses 100 to 176
gallons of water at home each day .
- The average
African family uses about 5 gallons of
water each day.
