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.

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.

That is correct! You win the prize! The point of my post was that low-flow toilets are poorly designed across the board, SO poor in fact that most of the time it takes two flushes instead of the advertised one-flush to flush a low-flow toilet, thereby using more water per year than a hi-flow toilet.

@swirlie US low flow toilets might be like that but the ones we have here in Norway work perfectly well.

@swirlie We live in the US and have replaced several toilets. The Toto brand from Japan works amazingly well; competitively priced.

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).
