Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Common House Toilet Choices

[DWeil20688 (DWeil20688]

Lynn,
When we had our house built last year (the first in Solterra) I was very 
concerned about the new requirement for low water usage toilets because the 
toilets with larger water usage were often not satisfactory for me.  Our 
contractor was told to install pressure-assisted toilets even though they are 
noisy, more costly to buy and repair and probably less reliable.  Due to poor 
communication between the contractor and plumber, low water usage toilets 
were installed.  Rather than press for correction, I suggested that I try 
them.  To my pleasant surprise, the toilets operated better than any others I 
have lived with.
