Flushed…
Posted by Ben on March 3rd, 2005
Wired had an interesting article on the future of toilet design today. All I can say is that it’s about time. I hate low-flow toilets. I probably have to break out the plunger at our house at least twice a week. We’ve got bathroom remodeling in our future, so one of these better-designed toilets will hopefully replace our current one.
The dual-flush idea is one that actually works pretty well - pretty much every toilet in Australia had one of these, and even the high-power flush used the same amount of water as a US low-flow. Never had to plunge any of those.
Update Summer 2005: We bought and installed one of the American Standard Champion toilets. 3 months running, and no clogs yet.
