We Are Now the Proud Owners of--

A Toto Dual Flush toilet!

What? You know not of what I speak? Please. Let me introduce you. It has two buttons on the lid, one for a small amount of water and one for a larger amount. They're used all over the world. It should save us lots of water over the years, although the toilet cost us a little bundle, and the installation took a while, so installation probably costs more than the toilet. "Tricky" was the word Rick the plumber used. So we said farewell to our old toilet, which Rick said was dated September 11, 1935. That helps us date our house back to exactly . . . 1935!

Rick is still up there, cleaning up, I need to leave in a few minutes to get Will and Jack for swimming, so I'm gettin' a little antsy. We cannot sit on this wonder for six hours. Should I post again on how it works? If there is any demand out there, I'd be glad too. Or that may be Too Much Information.

Could we have video of the flush?

A video! Great idea!

Hmmm, interesting thing with the date, 9/11 too... where was this date? Engraved/written/printed in the toilet? Fascinating to find out this date.

Oh, and I won't mind detailed explanations ;)

And now you're officially the #1 search result (except for advertisers) for "Toto Duoflush" -- I guess the right way to spell it is "Duo flush" or some other thing... I still haven't found a good site. I guess I'll have to click on the advertiser sites at the top...

Yep, it's Dual Flush not Duo Flush. So I fixed that.

Your segue from talking about your toilet to taking the boys swimming put a disturbing image in my head.

I'm over it now.

Oh, please, can you post a picture?

yes, there is interest. I have been looking at Totos for awhile. How awful was the installation process?
