Glacier Bay Power Flush Dual-Flush 1.28/0.92 GPF Two-Piece Elongated Toilet

Glacier Bay Power Flush Dual-Flush 1.28 GPF Two-Piece Elongated

The Glacier Bay Power Flush Dual-Flush 1.28 GPF Two-Piece Elongated Toilet is Home Depot's house-brand answer to value-tier dual-flush specifications. At $159-$219 retail, the Power Flush brings dual-flush water savings (1.0/1.6 GPF averaging ~1.28 GPF) to Glacier Bay's value pricing tier, competing with Jacuzzi Estasi ($199-$269), Delta Hatcher Dual-Flush ($179-$219), and other entry-level dual-flush alternatives. The Glacier Bay Power Flush is what you specify when you want dual-flush water conservation at the lowest possible Home Depot price point with reasonable mechanical reliability.

Home Depot House Brand Positioning

Glacier Bay is Home Depot's private-label house brand for plumbing fixtures — sourced from Chinese OEM factories with Home Depot quality control specifications. The Power Flush is positioned in the middle of Glacier Bay's two-piece catalog, between the entry-level All-In-One ($79-$129) and more premium Glacier Bay modern one-piece options. For buyers prioritizing absolute lowest cost from a recognizable retail source with dual-flush capability, the Power Flush is the practical default.

Dual-Flush 1.0/1.6 GPF Operation

Dual-flush operation: 1.0 GPF light flush (designed for liquid waste) + 1.6 GPF full flush (designed for solid waste). Average per-flush usage ~1.28 GPF — WaterSense certified. Top-mounted dual-flush button.

Water Savings vs. Single-Flush Alternatives

Compared to single-flush 1.28 GPF toilets (which use 1.28 GPF on every flush regardless of waste type), the dual-flush approach saves approximately 5-8% additional water — about $20-$40 in annual water cost savings depending on local utility rates and household usage patterns. Over 10-year ownership, the dual-flush configuration saves approximately 1,400-3,000 gallons of water vs. single-flush 1.28 GPF designs.

Elongated Bowl + Comfort Height

Elongated bowl (~18.5" length) for comfortable seating + ADA comfort height (~17" floor-to-rim) for easier sit-and-stand. The dominant modern US toilet configuration standard.

"Power Flush" Engineering

The "Power Flush" name refers to Glacier Bay's marketing positioning for higher-performance flush mechanisms in their catalog — engineered for stronger bowl clearing than the entry-level Glacier Bay All-In-One specifications. The internal mechanism is generic Chinese OEM but tuned for MaP 800g+ flush performance, comparable to other value-tier dual-flush alternatives.
