H2Option Dual Flush Toilet

The key to conservation for most people is not making it feel like conservation.

Another key is, as always, saving money.  People will generally conserve when it saves money and doesn’t feel like a sacrifice.

Problem is:  if the low-cost solution really doesn’t work and product performance suffers, so does conservation.

One of our clients makes dual flush toilets, which are really good: you literally press 1 for 1 and press 2 to flush, well, number 2.  These toilets can can reduce water usage by up to 67 percent.   Unfortunately, there are now so-called dual flush retrofit kits that promise to turn your existing potty into a dual flush model.

One big problem:  changing the amount of water going into a toilet bowl doesn’t change how the water behaves in the bowl in terms of how it powers out waste and water (or worse, doesn’t).

At that point, users are not going to be terribly enthused about additional conservation measures.   Which ultimately hurts good new technology like dual flush toilets, some of which have received top independent ratings for their ability to flush solids cleanly and completely.
