When it comes to the home and the items and even the rooms we use everyday, we find that water plays a huge role in it. From doing the dishes and cooking in the kitchen, to taking showers and using the restroom, we find that in our homes we use a lot of water in our day to day lives. And like many who have a full house, I know that when it comes to our water use that there are ways to conserve that use. But I also know that when it comes to the uses such as flushing a toilet, taking showers, and even doing the dishes, that we can end up using more water than I would like to. This use can be seen on those monthly water bills, and even when we show the kids how to cut down on shower times, and watch our water usage while doing dishes, I know that there we are still using too much. So when we were given the chance to update our bathroom and even kitchen with the Niagara Conservation UHET™ Water-Saving Kit, I was excited to install the products and watch as we not only saved water but also as that water bill went down!
When our UHET™ Water-Saving Kit arrived, I was excited. I mean, it is not everyday that we go to replace a toilet and update the shower heads and faucet in the kitchen. It is also not everyday that when you go to replace your toilet that you replace that old toilet with a toilet that has a motor on the inside! Or that you know that by making these little upgrades, that you and your family will not only be saving water but also saving money. I also know that when it comes to which bathroom gets the most use in my home, that our kids/guest bathroom is the one with the most water use. So when it came down to preparing to remodel the bathroom, I found that along with my excitement that my kids were also very excited to be getting a upgrade!
To get started with the replacing of the toilet we had to first shut off the water to the toilet by turning off the valve in the back of the toilet, from there we opened up the tank to the old toilet, disconnected the refill tube and flushed until all of the water in the tank was mostly gone then used a towel to sop up the remaining water. After that was done, we had to disconnect the water supply valve from the old toilet by disconnecting the chain from the flapper, and using pliers to unscrew the bolts that are in the tank, which in hand disconnected the tank from the bowl. We removed the tank and continued the process by taking the caps off of the bolts that sit at the bottom of the toilet so that we could use a wrench to unscrew the nuts. Once we had both sides off, we then began to break the seal that connects the toilet to the pipes in the floor by rocking the toilet back and forth, and when it came loose we were able to remove the rest of the toilet from the floor, remove the wax ring that was on the floor and clean the area where the old toilet had sat.
From there, we then went backwards in the removal steps to put the new toilet in by first using the wax ring that came in the kit and placing it over the drain hole on the floor with the rounded side up. Which for us, made the replacing of the old toilet with our new Stealth® dual flush toilet, a very simple process.
Once our Stealth® dual flush toilet was ready, the kids were excited to see how it worked. I showed them how to use it properly by pressing on each flush side. Explaining that unless they need that extra power and water added to their flush that they just press on the green button for a half flush, otherwise for when they need to flush for a #2, then they can press on the silver button which creates a full flush system!
Then when it came to the installation of the aerators both in the kitchen and bathroom, I was able to do so by simply taking off the old aerators and gaskets and placing the new aerators and heads that came in our kit on! Giving us not just a upgrade when we flush so we can save water and money, but also upgrades when we shower in both bathrooms and when we do dishes! Making the choice to upgrade the home in both the bathroom and kitchen with the Niagara Conservation UHET™ Water-Saving Kit, a choice that saves both water and money!

I like that there are 2 flush level amounts. This would really help in the bathroom attached to my father in laws room. Our water bill this month wast 287.00 just for one month. It has been outrageous since we moved him in after his stroke.
I love anything that saves water for sure
I love that this saves water and no double flushing. I would love to have this in our home to save money. I would buy something new for the kids with all the money we would save.heather hgtempaddy@hotmail.com
The two flush level amounts are the best. With the money saved I would use in helping to redecorate the guest room.
Speaking to my landlord this week & finding our h20 bill has risen $40 since I stopped traveling ALL THE TIME w/ my better 1/2 for work. Speaks for itself.
Saving water means Saving money and the enviroment.
It's always good to save water. With 7 people living in the house, this will really help!
I've always been bothered about how much water we waste when we flush the toilet, so I'd love to win this!
Love it..I've been a green person for decades..mom started me before it was cool to be so.I work in the field of ecology..it's important.I'm always looking for new ways to lessen my footprint..so I love this product and giveaway.Thanks
Like how their are 2 flush level amounts.
I would be thrilled with anything that can save some money around the house
I would love this, it seems like we wast a lot of water. I would use the extra money for a vacation fund.
This would be a blessing in my house. I have an old toilet and I have to turn the water valve off and back on after every flush for some reason the water runs continuously. I have had several people look at and they say I need a new toilet. Unfortunately it is not in the budget. I would save the money it would save me to do some more updating in my home.
I like that it does not seem like too much trouble to install. Would use extra savings for stuff like gas
Love the toilet – the 2 flush options are a nice feature. Seems like it is fairly easy to install too.
I like the idea of saving water and looks simple to use
I think the ease of installation in the main thing I like. Saving water is always a big plus. I need to get my house repiped soon, so these would fit right in.
I like the 2 flush level amounts. I would use the extra money to pay off debt.
I like the 2 levels for sure. This would be great to save water. Thank you
I like that it saves water,helps the environment and saves money.
I like that the eco button is colored green. I've seen similar designs and it's hard to tell the buttons apart on a quick glance. We'd use the money to add to our vacation savings. Could always use more 'green' there!
Have been looking for a year to replace my Mother's old water consuming toilet. This is PERFECT! Water bill is pricey. Savings would then go to pay Electric bill!
love anything that in turn saves money, the money saved would go towards other bills no19034770 @yahoo .com
I love saving water! And if it is a whisper-quiet flush – even better!
I'd put it in savings.
It's great for the environment and my pockets to save water, this product is a must have!
I like the 2 flush levels. Anything to save water and money is a plus. I'd use the savings toward other bills.
We live in the desert so we are attuned to saving water using low volume toilets, showers, etc. I like the Stealth dual flush toilet's efficient flush options; use only as much water as you need !
