depends on the kind of toilet and where you live. today's standard in America is 1.6 gallons. more efficient models will use 1.28 gallons. some even have a dual-flush option, 0.8 gallons for #1 and 1.6 gallons for #2.

∙ 13y agoIn the newer design toilets, an effective flush is achieved with about 1.3 gallons of water. That water is not "wasted", it is performing an important service. More water than is necessary to flush the bowl clean would be wasted, yes (older toilets). And that is why they were re-designed.

∙ 11y agoIf you have an older style toilet (15 years or more) then you are flushing away about 18 litres of water per flush. All new toilets flush an average of 13 litres per flush and many even give the choice of a 6 or 13 litre flush with the use of a dual flush button. -In US and Canada people are incredibly wasteful of water in general. We use nearly 2-3 times per capita what most other countries use.
