I get where you're coming from, but honestly, my experience has been a bit different. Installed a water-saving toilet last year, and while it's great for the environment, I've had to flush twice pretty often... kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Still on the fence here.
Had the same issue at first, but adjusted the water level in the tank and it made a noticeable difference. Have you tried tweaking yours yet, or is it still factory-set?
Yeah, adjusting the water level can definitely help. I had a similar experience when we first installed ours—honestly, I was pretty skeptical at first. It seemed like it wasn't flushing properly, and I was worried we'd made a mistake going for the eco-friendly option. But after tweaking the float valve a bit, it improved a lot. Still, I wouldn't say it's perfect... sometimes it takes an extra flush, which kinda defeats the purpose of saving water, right?
Overall though, I'd say it's worth sticking with it. We've noticed a decent drop in our water bill over the past few months, and knowing we're doing something good for the environment feels pretty nice too. Just takes a little patience and fine-tuning to get it right. Hang in there—it gets better once you find that sweet spot.
We've had ours for about a year now, and honestly, the savings on our water bill have been noticeable enough to make me overlook the occasional double flush. But I do wonder sometimes if the cheaper models are more prone to these issues. Anyone here splurge a bit more on a higher-end water-saving toilet? Curious if spending extra upfront actually makes a difference in performance or if it's just marketing hype...
We went with a pricier model about two years ago, and honestly, I still have mixed feelings. It definitely flushes better than the budget one we had before—haven't had to double flush nearly as often—but I'm not sure it's enough of an improvement to justify the extra cost. Sometimes I wonder if the difference is more about build quality and durability rather than just flushing power alone.
On the other hand, my brother-in-law got a mid-range one, and he swears by it. Claims he's never had a single issue. But then again, he's the type who'd never admit if he did, haha.
Makes me wonder, though...is it really about price or just finding the right brand/model combo? Maybe some brands just have their engineering down better, regardless of price point. Has anyone noticed certain brands consistently performing better than others?
