low-flow toilet

Efficient flush fixture

A low-flow toilet uses significantly less water per flush than conventional toilets—typically 1.6 gallons or less compared to older models that used 3.5 gallons or more.

Building codes in many places now require them: We had to install low-flow toilets when we renovated the bathroom.

Early designs were notorious for weak flushing, though modern versions have largely solved this.
