Dual Flush toilets (#1s and #2s)

Nick · 2004-06-27T09:45:54+00:00

Hi,I currently have an 'ideal standard' bog standard ... bog.Housemate has some kind of bladder problem meaning he's at the loo 3times an hour.I'm fed up with the waste of water, and am interested in getting adual flush cistern, so he can use half flushes for #1s.Does this mean replacing the whole toilet?Is it possible to change just the flush mechanism, or is this specificto each cistern.Are cistern's standard, or if I change it, will I have to change thebowl too?Or does anyone know how to modify a standard flush cistern to make itdual flush?Thanks for any helpNick

The downside there is it requiers some heavy brickwork, plus decent foundations, to support a few tonnes of water. Plus it looks butt ugly. Hence I'd go for ground level myself.

It only cleans other stuff off, as you say, not limescale.

If he's going that often, there's a type of water powered pump which might add a few more litres at no extra cost
