Whether you're refurbishing an entire bathroom or simply replacing an old or broken toilet, The Home Depot carries a wide range of models to ensure you'll find the right one for your home. This guide will tell you about the many features to consider when buying a toilet and the technology that is making them more comfortable, efficient and eco-friendly than ever before. 

Flush Performance
Our Flush Performance rating system assigns each toilet a numerical score based on three key factors:

• bulk removal

• outlet size

• flush valve size

We assign our toilets a Good, Better or Best rating using industry-accepted bulk removal standards. Consult the diagram on this page to learn more about our simple Flush Performance rating system. You will also find Flush Performance ratings on display in the toilet aisle of your local The Home Depot store.

Height
Keep comfort in mind when selecting a toilet. Refer to the table below to determine which toilet may best suit your needs.

Design
Refer to the chart below for design options:

Style
With a wide range of styles and colors to choose from, selecting a toilet that matches the décor in your bathroom is simple and easy. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary design, our extensive selection makes it easy for you to reflect your own personal style.

Water Efficiency
New flushing technology across various toilets has enabled water conservation without sacrificing flush performance. Regulations now limit toilets to no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. As a result, in addition to adding comfort and style, replacing toilets installed before 1994 provides a great deal more water efficiency. Our Municipality Rebate Locator will help you see if your toilet purchase qualifies for a rebate from your local water district. The Home Depot has developed its own Eco Options program to encourage earth-friendly living and is a proud partner of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense® program, carrying low-flow toilets that have the WaterSense label of approval for using no more than 1.28 gallons per flush. 

Rough-In
The distance between the floor drain and the wall, called the rough-in, is one factor to consider when selecting your toilet. The standard distance is 12" and 10" or 14" are occasionally found in older homes. You can determine the rough-in on an existing toilet by measuring from the wall behind the toilet to the middle of the bolts on the base.

Complete Toilet Kits
We now offer convenient toilet kits that include everything you need in one box – tank, bowl, toilet seat and wax ring (supply lines sold separately). These handy "All-In-One" products ensure that you have all of the correct toilet parts the first time, saving you from return visits to the store to buy or exchange parts.
