The problem with dual flush toilets is not their function ... it's their style. Everyone loves new gadgets for the home. And I am all for eco friendly but, honey, I want it to look GOOD! And they are finally getting the message. Now that California's law requires 1.28 gallons or less per flush, we are forced to look at high efficiency options. The dual flush toilet still meets these requirements, but allows you a larger flush ... when necessary. (Do you have boys in the house??)
These toilets have two buttons on top, one for liquid waste, 0.8 gallons/flush and one for solid at 1.6 gallons/flush. This prevents the 'double flushing' that was happening with earlier models. (Which, of course, negated the whole water saving idea!)
This is available at Fixtures and Faucets in San Mateo.
Enter the Caroma Colonial. What a charming old world look with new world technology! Do NOT be afraid to sit on these. I know. It is as embarrassing as lying on beds in the mattress store, but you must try them. Being a bit short in stature, I actually found one the other day where my feet did not reach the floor. Uncomfortable! Available at Pacific Sales in Redwood City.
Kohler has a nice line of dual flush including the Saile, Persuade and Strela (shown) They can be seen at Plumbing and Things in Redwood City.
To finish off your research check out the Consumer Reports review of dual flush toilets. (Yes, you must join, and yes, it is worth it.)
