2. Give us back old-style toilets that used enough water to actually force the waste into the sewer system.
3. Restore us our old-style faucets and shower heads so the flow is strong enough to do the job.
The newest low-usage toilets are pretty impressive. I asked the plumbing supply guys for a toilet that could flush a basketball shoe, and they sold me a Toto. I actually have not tried a shoe, but this thing has performed grandly.
Faucets and shower heads can be modified by the consumer for greater flow.
The Japanese Toto is an impressive toilet. I’m acquainted with people who also have the Toto Washlet, which is a replacement toilet seat with a built-in bidet. The bidet water is heated for comfort and so is the seat. The bidet “head” is stainless steel and computerized with a small electric motor to move the head back and forth in a selectable, programmable pattern for optimal comfort, cleanliness and to accommodate differing physiques. It also sterilizes itself after each use. A Toto toilet equipped with Washlet flushes very thoroughly and uses less water than a standard low flow toilet. Not cheap but it’s a very nice thing, especially if you have back problems or hemmorhoids that would make using toilet tissue painful or uncomfortable. Not cheap, but not as expensive as many would think, probably less than $1000 installed. The Washlet seat will fit any standard toilet also, that runs between $300 - $600 depending on model and options.
