Thanks for letting us know what to look for specifically when we shop. Your tips can save us some money and maybe help us avoid buying the wrong toilet.

BUT, everyone wants a toilet that will actually ‘perform’…..i.e., do the ‘job’! So, if you are purchasing a new toilet for your home or business, then get the best performing model (and maybe even get a REBATE from your local water utility). You definitely should check out Maximum Performance (MaP) testing. Go to http://www.map-testing.com for the up-to-date flush performance data and design information on nearly 2,700 different WATERSENSE high-efficiency toilet models from 80 DIFFERENT BRANDS!!….all independently tested by laboratories NOT connected to any manufacturer. Click on ‘MaP Search’ to use the free search tool OR download complete product listings.

MaP development was sponsored by WATER UTILITIES IN THE U.S. AND CANADA in 2003 to give consumers a means to compare actual flush performance among all the many toilet models available in the marketplace. You can download a complete list of all U.S. EPA WATERSENSE toilet models, OR you can do a ‘search’ of the database by specifying the exact characteristics you need (such as round front vs. elongated bowls, elevated height bowls vs. standard bowls, one-piece vs. two-piece toilets, and so on).

All of this is entirely FREE and found at http://www.map-testing.com.

NOTE: MaP DOES NOT SELL TOILETS…..it merely has them tested and reports the results free-of-charge to the public.
