[Greenbuilding] Toilets that Work

[Reuben Deumling]

Thanks for the in-store work on price & performance, Lawrence. Very helpful
indeed.

My question, which I've occasionally put to the folk who do this delightful
testing over the past few years, is what the possibilities are of, for
instance, taking the inexpensive Cadet 3 model you discovered and throttling
the flush volume.

Assuming the mechanics in the tank permitted this one should be able to buy
and install one of these and then ratchet down the volume from the 1.6 gpf
level until it failed to perform adequately in normal use. In my view we
should have considerable room to throttle in a 1,000 g model. I had hoped
Bill Gauley et al. would try this, but so far no luck. Any thoughts? Any
idea if the Cadet model tank innards would permit such experimentation? Or
if not what the next cheapest high performance model is?

Thanks.
