Niagara

Niagara Conservation was founded in 1974 by William Cutler, who began developing water-saving plumbing devices from a home workshop years before federal low-flow standards existed. The company introduced its first product, a low-flow showerhead rated near 2.5 gallons per minute, in 1977.

Niagara Conservation is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and has built its reputation around water conservation for plumbing fixtures used in residential and commercial construction. The manufacturer received the EPA WaterSense Manufacturer Partner of the Year award in 2011 and again in 2013 for its contributions to water efficiency initiatives.

Product Lines

SupplyHouse carries Niagara's toilet lineup, including Stealth and EcoLogic Technology models built around dual-flush operation, with average flush volumes as low as 0.65 gallons per flush and standard flush ratings of 1.28 gallons per flush. Niagara showerheads use Equiforce Technology and are offered in flow rates from 1.0 to 2.0 gallons per minute, in both fixed-mount and handheld configurations. Faucet aerators round out the lineup, giving plumbing contractors options for retrofitting fixtures to lower water consumption without swapping the entire fixture.

Why Contractors Specify Niagara

Plumbing contractors who work on water utility rebate programs or municipal retrofit projects often turn to Niagara because its toilets and showerheads are engineered to meet WaterSense and low-flow code requirements while still delivering consistent flush and spray performance. Because Niagara's Stealth toilets combine air and water in the flush cycle, contractors can offer clients a fixture that meets aggressive water-reduction targets without the weak flush performance that caused callbacks on older low-flow models.

How to Choose Niagara Products

Selecting between Stealth and EcoLogic toilet models generally comes down to project requirements: Stealth models suit jobs where maximum water savings and dual-flush flexibility matter most, while EcoLogic models fit budget-conscious specifications that still need to meet WaterSense criteria. For showerheads, matching the Equiforce flow rate, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 gallons per minute, to local plumbing code and the property type helps avoid change orders after installation. Aerator selection should follow the same logic, matching flow rate to fixture use and any water utility rebate program requirements tied to the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Niagara's Stealth and EcoLogic toilet lines?

Stealth models use combined air and water pressure in the flush cycle to reach flush volumes as low as 0.65 gallons per flush in dual-flush configurations, while EcoLogic Technology toilets rely on a gravity-fed design engineered to meet WaterSense flow requirements at a lower price point.

Are Niagara showerheads code-compliant for low-flow plumbing requirements?

Niagara showerheads with Equiforce Technology are offered in flow rates from 1.0 to 2.0 gallons per minute, which allows installers to match local plumbing code minimums, including stricter state-level low-flow requirements.
