What are High-Efficiency Toilets?

High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) use at least 20 percent less water than standard 1.6 gallon per flush (gpf) Ultra-Low Flow Toilets. In other words, HETs use 1.28 gpf or less on average.

Basic types of HETs:

Gravity flush Toilets – use the weight of water to create a siphon action that pulls water and waste from the bowl.
Pressure-Assist Toilets – have a sealed vessel inside the tank and use air pressure to force a flush.
Dual Flush Toilets – allow you to select the amount of water that is used to flush the toilet, either a half-flush for liquids or a full flush for solids.

HET Performance

Below are resources for HET performance to help customers with their selection of WaterSense labeled HETs, for participation in the CCWD HET Rebate Program.

The Maximum Performance Testing Website (MaP) www.map-testing.com provides HET performance ratings for all toilets, by manufacturer and model number. The MaP performance test is based on the amount of grams removed in a “Waste Removal Test.” The higher number of grams removed, the better the performance.
For MaP Test results of only U.S. EPA WaterSense HETs that qualify for the CCWD HET Rebate Program go to here to see the MaP Test performance ratings for all the US EPA WaterSense labeled models
For MaP Test results of “Premium HET Performers” (Map tested HETs of 600 grams or more) go to http://www.map-testing.com/assets/files/2013-02-15-MaP_PREMIUM-HETs.pdf
Consumer Reports has a list of recommended HETs from 2012.
