As any good electrician would tell you .... NEVER mix water and electricity in close quarters. A sure combination of death trap "if" something malfunctions.
Worse case scenario...if the "standard" toilet malfunctions and the flapper (or) handle breaks...it won't kill me. You have an electrical short....your ass is cooked (literally). How do you explain that in your obituary? "Person fried on crapper"

No thanks....I'll use the "manual" flush method. Much safer. ]]>Jul 30th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/Jul 31st 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/http://www.bathroomsprayers.com ]]>Aug 1st 2009 9:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/30/smart-toilets-finally-coming-to-america/If you are serious about saving water, want a toilet that really works and is affordable, I highly recommend installing a Dual Flush toilet. Caroma toilets offer a patented dual flush technology consisting of a 0.8 Gal flush for liquid waste and a 1.6 Gal flush for solids. On an average of 5 uses a day (4 liquid/ 1 solid) a Caroma Dual Flush toilet uses an average of 0.96 gallons per flush. The new Sydney Smart uses only 1.28 and 0.8 gpf, that is an average of 0.89 gallons per flush. This is the lowest water consumption of any toilet available in the US. Caroma, an Australian company set the standard by giving the world its first successful two button dual flush system in the nineteen eighties and has since perfected the technology. Also, with a full 3.5″ trapway, these toilets virtually never clog. All of Caroma’s toilets are on the list of WaterSense labeled HET’s (High Efficiency toilets) http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm and also qualify for several toilet rebate programs available in the US. Please visit my blog http://pottygirl.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/what-you-should-know-about-toilets/ to learn more or go to http://www.ecotransitions.com/howto.asp to see how we flush potatoes with 0.8 gallons of water, meant for liquids only.
