What type of toilets is designed to balance improved performance with lower water use?

The correct answer focuses on low flow toilets, which are engineered to minimize water usage while maintaining effective performance. These toilets typically use less than 1.6 gallons of water per flush, significantly reducing water consumption compared to traditional models. The design ensures that they efficiently clear waste while promoting water conservation. This balance between functionality and resource-saving makes them a popular choice in efforts to reduce water usage in residential and commercial settings.

Composting toilets, while eco-friendly and waterless, may not always match the performance standards of traditional flush toilets, particularly in larger installations. Dual flush toilets offer two options for flushing, using less water for liquid waste and more for solid waste, making them efficient but not as uniformly low in water usage as low flow toilets. High flow toilets use more than 1.6 gallons per flush, going against the trend of water conservation that low flow models champion.
