Just wanted to share - I'm excited about something as silly as a toilet :)  But we're very pleased with the concept, and I've read good reviews of the model we chose (Toto Aquia), so we're hopeful that it will be a good addition.  We're building in Florida, so water is always a concern.  If anyone would like to see photos, I have some on our home construction journal (link posted below).

Cheers!

My folks installed some dual-flush totos and love them. They work great and save a ton of water (they're on a well) which is always good.

We installed a Mansfield EcoQuantum dual flushabout 1 yr ago and are very satisfied. Although it is a bit noisy with very high pressure, water use is minimal and nothing will plug this one.

We remodeled our bath, in fact we just finished it, and we put in a Caroma (Sydney 270 model) Dual-flush. We are really happy with it.

It seems on a well your water cost is less. Best thing would be the septic system wouldn't be as taxed.
Another interesting thing that my wife read about and wants to do some day is compost toilets. There are companies that will come empty them, or you can use it as fertilizer for decorative planting (NEVER use human wastes for food fertilizer).

Looks like Toto doesn't make the wall-mounted kind of toilets. Does anybody have one of those, made by Duravit and Geberit? They have a concealed tank, too. It makes way for super easy floor-cleaning in the bathroom. Would like to hear from anyone who has one.

Have used and installed Duravit in Germany. A very good concept that I thought was to "out there" for US use. Have never seen Duravit in the US. Would like to hear from people who actually use one. I am located in NC and I am interested as to where I could get Duravit products.

Manfred, I have seen Duravit toilets for sale online in the States. Do a search and you'll find more than a few sites. I had one in my flat when I lived in Germany. Loved everything about it, except one had to use the toilet brush a bit more often. I have seen Duravit toilets labeled "wash-down models" when they are US versions. I wonder exactly what that means?
