Low Flush Toilet Failures Exposed By H2O Guard, Inc. CEO

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ — The best-kept plumbing industry secret continues to escape the attention of public officials. A majority of low flush toilets can easily be adjusted from 1.6 gallons to as high as 4.4 gallons per flush, said Robert Easter, CEO H2O Guard, Inc.

“A study by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) exposes how a homeowner or plumber installing an after market valve and flapper into a 1.6 gpf toilet can use up to 36% more water. Goodbye Green conservation,” said Easter.

“The homeowner seldom is aware of how much water it takes to fill the tank once the original valve and flapper are replaced. But the most serious water loss occurs when a flapper gets stuck,” said Easter.

“Six percent of all toilets in a city are leaking at full water volume flow because of a stuck flapper. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management web site states a leaking toilet can use 90,000 gallons in 30 days,” said Easter.

Cities, especially those struggling with severe drought, are slowly starting to come to grips with the problems of water wasting toilets.

“A two year study by New York City Department of Environmental Protection on multifamily buildings found 79% of water loss indoors was a result of toilet leaks. The average daily leak volume was over 550 gallons per day,” said Easter.

“H2O Guard recently spearheaded a campaign called Save the Water Race in Orme TN. This tiny town ran out of water. Water had to be hauled from a neighboring town. Six plumbing manufacturers donated and installed water saving devices in one day. Initial results suggest a 45% water savings. Each household should save over 4,500 gallons of water per month,” said Easter.

“Orme has proven any city can save significant amounts of water. They were in a tough spot, but the Mayor and City Council were determined to do what was necessary to stop wasting water,” said Easter.

The H2O Guard valve stops running toilets immediately. The valve measures the exact amount of water needed to fill the tank. Once the tank is full, the valve shuts off and will not allow the tank to refill if there is a leak. The Guard (R) puts an end to water waste and damage.
