Is anyone here aware of a pre-ban toilet? THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! I am under the impression that the government wanted to cut down on water consumption, so they required new toilets to use less water when flushed. I have heard that it is illegal to use an older-style toilet in new home construction. Are there any home builders here who can back this up?

Hey the fact of the matter is that our tax money is going to support these AGs who have nothing better to do. That is true, if they dont have a high profile case they have to conjur up something that will get ink, so , voila!, an assault weapon toilet!!

I don't think the high-capacity "assault toilet" ban is Federal. Here in Tucson, however, you are limited to 3 gallon/flush toilets (which means you have to flush them twice, thus using 6 gallons as opposed to the older standard 5 gallon/flush units).

Yes it is true you can not buy a high volume residential toilet anymore, at least here in Oregon. so you have to flush twice thus using more water than the old style toilet. |

Standard (i.e., hi-cap) toilets are not sold through normal retail channels, though most supply houses can get them for you, if it's "for commercial use." The great thing is that your sewer pipes are far more likly to clog up, as they don't get enough water to keep the black water flowing. The solution? Flush twice, and waste far more water than the low-cap toilets save. -Troy |
