Why not put those institutional toilets in the home?

you know, the kind with the handle that flush really quick? Seems like they'd use less water, get the job done faster, and be easier to clean, no? Why not?

It's probably water pressure, large buildings tend to have higher water pressure than standalone homes.

Can't flush sh*t at home, gotta do it like 3 times. Damn low flow toy toilets. Nothing pisses me off more than a turd that won't flush.

I think I remember seeing that in order to have such a violent flush, you need to have at least a 3/4" waterline. That's pretty big for your average house.

Hmm my friend's dad owned an auto repair shop and the bathroom had these like tankless toilets. The flush button was on top of the tank part, and inside was a black round thing....I swear it seemed as if you were sitting and flushed, you'd wind up hollow.

I don't know, but I sure do love those handicap toliets.....you sit all high like you are the king on a throne. Extra wide area so you can just camp out for a hour and handle your biz......I need that kind of space in my bathroom at home....
