Have you ever replaced a toilet in your home?

Hi-flow toilets which consume more water per flush, actually use 27% less water annually than lo-flow toilets which advertise very low water consumption per flush.

Yes, because the cistern on the old one just cracked one day. I didn't hear it, but saw the result later. The exact same thing had happened at my parents' place many years previously. I heard a *crack* and then a drip...drip...drip. If I hadn't experienced cisterns cracking I wouldn't have thought it very probable 🤔

I'll put money on this guess, but I'll just bet that you're an American.

Haha - and my dishwashing detergent requires 50% less scrubbing. Ain’t it great :)

Cannot say I have. The one in my house was made in 1981. It is blue like the rest of the bathroom.

That can only be true if the low flow toilets don't actually flush properly so that one must flush twice.

Consumer Reports says that this is not the case

Busting Myths About Water-Efficient Toilets

Do low-flow toilets force you to flush multiple times? Not according to CR's tests.

But according to some Americans I don't live in the free world anyway!

That is correct, you don't live in the free world, which is that illusory place more commonly defined as the Continental boundaries of the USA, also commonly known among most Americans as "The Greatest Country on Earth", which also means you only live in the dull and boring place called "The Real World", not in that delusional place between Canada and Mexico called "The Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" (or something like that, I forget how it goes).

As a professional contractor I have replaced many toilets.
