A LOW FLOW TOILETRemember when a "low flow toilet" was one of those 3-1/2 gallon-per-flush jobs with a brick in the tank? Sometimes it worked and you could save a little money, but mostly they malfunctioned because they weren't designed to flush with less water! Today toilets are designed to use less than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. And exciting (to the toilet world) diverse technologies are being incorporated to make these toilets even more functional.  Some have larger drains, more conducive bowls and computer assisted design. There are even toilets that give gravity a hand through physics, air pressure and inline water pressure! In 2005 the National Energy Policy Act (NEPA) required toilets to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. The first ones were inefficient and irritating ... and usually the user would have to flush twice! Not only that, but they often clogged and would be hard to unstop. Today, most of the bugs have been worked out and toilet research and development is bringing this appliance into the twenty-first century.
