Inspector's Blog → Get a Free Dual Flush Toilet
What is a dual flush toilet you may ask? I’m referring to the cutting-edge in toilet technology and water conservation. These wonderful, high efficiency inventions can cut water usage in half with the push of a button. They do this by offering the user two flush options-half a flush (.8 gallons) and a full flush (1.6 gallons). Without going into the details, I’ll assume you get the picture.
Most dual flush toilets are fairly expensive, however folks who live in Austin Texas can get them for FREE. Here’s how it works. Austin Water is offering rebates of up to $200 to homeowners who change out their old inefficient toilets with a High efficiency Toilet (HET). It just so happens that Austin Plumbing Supply (located at 5520 Burnet Rd.) is selling Caroma dual flush toilets for $200. This high-end commode is valued at around $400.
Before proceeding you may want to make sure Austin Plumbing Supply still has these toilets, and you may want to confirm that the city still have this rebate for the Caroma Sidney. For information on this great deal contact:

If you don’t qualify for the rebate and still want to save money and water without buying a new toilet, I highly recommend looking into a dual flush retrofit kit
