This Low-Flow, Dual Flush Toilet Uses Water From Washing Your Hands For Its Next Flush

Switching to low-flow fixtures and utilizing "greywater" are two of the biggest ways to save water at home...but let's face it, both are SO inconvenient! But the Profile Smart dual flush toilet from Caroma is here to change that.

Here are the specs:

• High efficiency dual flush toilet - 1.28/0.8 gallons (4.8/3 liters) per flush
• Integrated sink for enhanced water savings
• After flushing, fresh cold water is directed through the faucet for hand washing and drains into the tank to be used for the next flush
• Unique water and space saving design
• Chrome buttons built-in to tapware design
• Easy installation
• Large trapway virtually eliminates blockages

Even though this toilet is super low-flow, it's trapway is large enough to allow limes and potatoes to pass through. And let's face it, if you're dropping potato-sized nastiness in this bad boy, you probably need to hydrate better or work more fiber into your diet.

Here's a demonstration of the potato and lime flushing action on The Today Show:

Another factor that makes this toilet so great is that it reuses the nearly clean water that you used to wash your hands in the next flush of the toilet. That's an incredibly simple, easy, and efficient greywater system! What's even better is that it doesn't involve the installation of an expensive and complicated greywater system, but is much more sophisticated than simply catching drain water in a bucket and filling your toilet tank with it.

Would you outfit your bathrooms with this lean, mean, porcelain machine?
