DUAL-FLUSH TOILETS in the Sequoia |
Did you know that a toilet with a 3.5-gallon tank uses over 25,000 gallons of water
a year? (Calculations are based on the usage of a family of 4.) Even a modern
energy efficient toilet that uses 1.6 gallons per flush uses 11,572 gallons of water.
Sure, you could put a brick in the tank and compromise performance, but your
water conservation still would not compare to the Caroma Dual Flush toilets
featured in the 2010 Tim O’Brien Homes Parade House; the Sequoia. Our toilets
can save up to 18,000 gallons of water a year and the water savings directly
translates to savings on your water bill.
The dual flush system from Caroma allows you to use a 1.6 gallon flush when you
need it, and a 0.8 gallon flush when less water is required. Caroma is recognized
as a world leader in dual flush technology, combining smart and contemporary
designs with proven performance to reduce water use in the bathroom, helping
conserve the world’s most valuable resource.
Water conservation may not seem as important in a lake-filled state like Wisconsin,
however in counties like Waukesha, water consumption and usage is a critical issue.
The Waukesha area is suffering from a groundwater aquifer drawdown due to
unsustainable usage. The excessive drawdown of the groundwater aquifers beneath
Waukesha has led to groundwater quality problems and has increased the occurrence
of radium.
Tim O’Brien Homes is committed to building high-performance homes that save home
owners money AND help to conserve precious natural resources like water. Installing
award-winning Caroma Toilets in our homes allows us to achieve both goals.
