Toilets 'certified as WaterSense'

US firm Niagara Conservation has announced that two of its toilets have been awarded the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new WaterSenseSM label.

The label certifies that the toilets use a minimum of 20 per cent less water than regular 1.6-gallon toilets.

Additionally, it guarantees that the lavatories meet strict flushing performance guidelines, NJBiz reports.

"The WaterSense label lets consumers know they are selecting products that are not only high-efficiency, but high-performance. Technology and design advances allow these toilets to save water with no trade-off in flushing power," commented William Cutler, president of Niagara Conservation.

NJBix reports that the average four-person family uses roughly 400 gallons of water each day, with toilets representing 26 percent of all home indoor water use.

WaterSense is a voluntary public-private partnership programme sponsored by the US EPA.

Niagara Conservation manufactures high-efficiency resource-conserving products in a bid to save natural resources.
