The MaP rating system has been endorsed by consumer groups, manufacturers, retailers, architects, and the US EPA through its&nbsp;WaterSense&nbsp;initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a toilet that performs well, you want a MaP-tested toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Maximum Performance Testing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the development of the MaP Testing Program, many toilets routinely plugged or required double flushing \u2013 \u2013 they just didn\u2019t work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because 99 of every 100 flushes will be for less than 350 grams (12 ounces) of waste, a MaP-approved toilet fixture must flush at least 350g of solid waste. (Note: In 2003, half of the fixtures tested could not even flush 250 g of waste!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, many MaP-approved toilets can flush 1,000g of solid waste (over 2 pounds!) \u2014 far more than any human is likely to produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOTE: Manufacturers are NOT required to have their toilet fixtures MaP tested and MaP testing remains a voluntary program. To avoid disappointment, consumers should insist on installing ONLY MaP-tested toilets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two suggestions for MaP-approved toilets (that we believe are \u201cgood flushers\u201d) are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kohler Wellworth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-valbetti.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/toilet1.jpg\" alt=\"toilet1\" class=\"wp-image-1318\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Toto Eco-Drake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-valbetti.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/toilet2.jpg\" alt=\"toilet2\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totamrem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta suntexplicabo.
