Does anyone know if there are federal or state tax deductions available for this?

Does anyone have experience with how well these perform.

I live in a condo. I own the condo, but the water is paid by the association. Can I get a rebate?

How much does the toilet cost without the rebate?
Posted by: Sarah Santner - January 29, 2009 12:00 PM
Hi there - here are answers to the last three posts: KS - I have personally flushed a few different HET models and found them quite effective. More importantly than my own experience, in order to qualify for the WaterSense label these toilets are run through an independent performance test. In order to make the list the toilet must flush a minimum of 350 grams of waste (that's a fair bit). Gail - The program is set up to allow each account only two rebates. So if your association is willing to let you be one of the two - then they could pass the rebate onto you. The check will be made out to the name listed on the account. Jeff - HET toilets are a category with a wide range of brands and prices. I know that they can be purchased for as little at $100.

We are looking at a toilet that uses 1.6 gallons/flush, but it isn't on your list, does it still qualify for the rebate?
Posted by: Carl - February 08, 2009 07:53 PM
OOOps! the toilet only uses 1.28 gals. Sorry! Same question, is it ok for the rebate?

Hi Carl - you need to check to see if the toilet you are interesed in is WaterSense certified. Visit - http://www.epa.gov/watersense/index.htm for a list.

Dear Sarah, Is the program offer to people who own 4-flex building? Thanks, Khanh
Posted by: Sarah Santner - February 10, 2009 02:13 PM
Khanh, Yes, the rebate is available to all customers who have an active Portland Water Account. However, each account can only apply for two reabtes.

Do you need a plumbing permit to replace a toilet?
Posted by: Khanh - March 06, 2009 08:17 AM
Dear Sarah, HomeDepot carries a Glacier toilet that has WaterSense label on it; however, it was not on the list of EPA (http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm). Is it still qualified for the rebate? It's only $98, much affordable compare to other brands. Or should I wait until the EPA updated their list? Thanks, Khanh

bummer. As of May 4th, 2009, the rebate fund has been depleted, so no more rebates.
Posted by: Jennie Day-Burget - May 26, 2009 03:31 PM
You are correct, Jimmy. Sorry you missed out.
Posted by: Michael R - June 15, 2009 09:10 AM
Bought the toilet two months ago, just installed yesterday. Hope it is not too late to get a rebate. Hey, nice spam control method!
