Roto-Rooter is learning how to be a greener company. We have an entire catalog of green plumbing products and parts to help our customers achieve their conservation goals. Here is a partial list of what Roto-Rooter's ROTOGreen program offers:

New High-Efficiency Toilet (HET)

• A WaterSense labeled HET flushes with just 1.28 gallons of water
• Roto-Rooter can get and / or install any brand and model
• Uses 20% less water than 1.6 GPF toilets
• Has as much flushing power as standard 1.6 GPF toilets, thanks to advanced toilet design

New Dual-Flush Toilet

• Uses two buttons or handles to flush two different amounts of water
• A low-volume flush (usually .08 gallon) is selected for clearing liquids from the bowl
• A full-power flush (1.6 gallons) is selected for removing solid waste from the bowl
• Saves a family of four up to 15,000 gallons of water per year over an old 3.5 GPF toilet

Water-Saving Residential Toilet Fill Valve
HydroClean®

• Proven to reduce water usage in existing toilets by up to 36% without sacrificing flush power!
• Saves even more water when combined with HydroRight® dual-flush converter
• Solves the two biggest reasons for water loss in toilets – miscalibration and leaks
• Cleans the tank and flapper with powerful jets, prolonging the life of all internal components
• Automatic leak detection continuously monitors toilet sustainability and signals when a leak occurs
• Accurate calibration typically saves an average of 30 ounces per flush in high-efficiency toilets and 60 ounces in older toilets
• Saves up to 8,050 gallons of water / $58 per year for an average family of four when retrofitted to 3.5 gallons per flush (GPF) toilets. That's equivalent to a free month of water for most families*

*Based on estimated average combined water & sewer rate of $7 per 1000 gallons

Water-Conserving Toilet Flapper Valve
HydroForce®

• Optimizes the toilet for full flush efficiency – saving significant amounts of water
• Engineered for long life and to withstand extreme water conditions
• Chemically optimized to resist chlorine and other harsh water additives which cause ordinary flappers to leak and waste water
• Flappers are the source of more water leaks than any other toilet component. If your toilet has the wrong flapper, it could be wasting water with every flush, even if the toilet was designed for high-efficiency

Residential Toilet Dual-Flush Converter
