CONSIDER PERFORMANCE
Your satisfaction with a toilet will depend on its flushing
performance, and you don't want to be disappointed. Water-saving regulations have limited
the amount of water that can be used in the flush process to 1.6 gallons. So a toilet's
performance has become more critical than ever.
The toilet you select should be able to perform flawlessly.
You should have a sense of confidence in your toilet, knowing it will function with one
flush.
You wouldn't purchase an automobile that didn't perform
well. So why should your toilet be different?
The chart below has been designed to assist you in your
search for the right toilet. By evaluating several important performance factors, this
chart compares four of the most commonly used flushing methods on the market.

CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS
Your toilet should give you more than style and
performance. It should give you a complete sense of comfort. Look for features, such as
bidet spray systems that provide exceptional cleanliness, or built-in deodorizing systems
that eliminate offensive odors.
The toilet's seat should also deliver luxuries to improve
your comfort. Heated seats, for example, or seats that ensure peace and quiet by
eliminating annoying toilet seat slams.
A toilet should comfort your mind as well as your body. So
make sure it's backed by a comprehensive warranty that protects you from unexpected
problems that might occur.
And finally, consider the extras offered without additional
expense. Many toilet manufacturers charge extra for just a standard seat and almost all
charge more for colors. So make sure you're aware of hidden costs that might increase the
price of your toilet. |
