Cohousing-L Mailing List: Common House Toilet Choices

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

Not a glamorous subject, but if you opened it, perhaps you are in a 
position to share info we will find useful.

Time to choose the toilets for our common house construction. Need to be 
ADA compliant, but that is mostly about positioning. Our questions are:

a) Wall mounted vs pedestal: the latter is cheaper, but would seem to be 
not nearly as easy to clean and clean around.(And toilet cleaning by 
volunteers should be as non-odious as possible, to get it done! ) Any 
wall mounts out there? Was the extra cost etc worth it? Brand and model?

b) Flush-- gravity vs pressure assisted: Obviously one wants to minimize 
the necessity for plunging, or plumber calls, for blockages, and many 
people will be using the facilities. Does pressure assisted (not the 
state-park kind, just the residential kind) make a difference in 
preventing blockages, or is it extra noise without proportionate benefit? 

c) Any specific satisfaction  or dissatisfaction with specific brands and 
models?
