What began as a routine repair my father-in-law Tom attempted transformed into the opportunity to install a better, greener toilet for the guest bathroom. The builder did a terrible job since the original rocked a tad. I thought Tom was just going to fix the internal mechanism tied to the flapper because it didn’t leak. (Un)Fortunately, something happened cracking the “porcelain” at the base, making the old toilet unusable.
Somara and Tom headed off to Home Depot, did some comparison shopping and found this model. It uses less water than its predecessor which is pretty important in Central Texas due to all the droughts we’ve experienced for a couple decades. What makes this rock is you press the large silver button for number one and it flushes the waste with less water; you don’t need much to dispose of whiz. Press the bluish button, the silver goes down with it and the toilet uses more water for solid waste. Contrary to Sen. “Ayn” Rand Paul (KY-Teabagger), our lower-flush unit does the job; these don’t work for him because he’s full of crap. Even an old wasteful multi-gallon flusher would need several attempts to process his nonsense.
I’m actually looking forward to replacing the unit in the master bathroom now.
Correction, March 9, 2013: I had the buttons backwards. They’re corrected now.
