How many gallons of water do you use when you flush the average toilet?

Question

House toilet

Answer 1

prob about 2 and a half

Answer 2

The design of newer toilets makes the flush more powerful and reduces the amount of water needed, so I think newer toilets are using even less, like 2 gallons down from like 5 or more.  I am no expert, this is just what I recall from reading about advances in plumbing technology.  Best of luck

Answer 3

older toilets 5.5 gallons of water, newer toilets about 1.6 gallons of water

Answer 4

In the early-mid 90's the government mandated that all toilets are 6 liter flush, or 6.34 quarts.

Incidentally, it seemed to catch the manufacturers off guard.  The early 6 liter flush toilets were terrible.  When you sold someone a toilet, you had to sell them a matching plunger.  The ones you get today are much better.

Answer 5

not sure, seeing as how i don't measure the water....
