Research indicates that more than 85 percent of water leakage in residential plumbing systems is found in the toilet and a majority of toilet leaks are caused by faulty or worn flappers. A silent leak in a toilet can waste 500 gallons of water a day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are more than 222 million residential toilets, which means the United States is losing more than 11 million gallons of water a day due to faulty flappers.

This is in addition to the 2.1 trillion gallons of water consumed each year due to toilet usage in these homes as well as toilets in hotels, condominiums, etc. Siphon Flush’s revolutionary design not only eliminates water-leakage but obsoletes the standard flush mechanism technology which was originally developed in 1955 and only lasts up to three years.

“I was simply looking for a way to stop my toilet from leaking,” said Wally Berry, CEO, American Innovative Products. “Magnet and Invention Machine turned my idea into a revolutionary new product and delivered more than 56 percent savings on my anticipated cost.”
