Water (and space) saving toilet suite.

An extra toilet is often handy but if you are stuck for space, its often difficult to accomodate a wash hand basin in a small WC.
Well here is a very environmentally friendly solution.



At a recent green expo day in Sydney I saw a toilet which makes so much sense that you wonder why you dont already have one.

The Caroma website says, "The first toilet suite in Australia to achieve a 5-star WELS rating, the Caroma Profile™ Toilet Suite with Integrated Hand Basin provides a simple, effective way to re-use water in the bathroom. Profile™ achieves this leading water rating by using the same water twice, firstly for hand washing and then for toilet flushing."



The Caroma website says,"Profile™ is the first of its kind to feature a unique, dual-flush push button and spout arrangement that saves the water normally used when hands are washed in a separate basin. The flush cycle activation controls the flow of fresh water through the basin spout, allowing time for thorough hand washing before the same water fills the cistern tank. Award-winning Smartflush® technology is also built-in for ultra low 4.5/3L flushing."

There is a school of thought which says that ideally you should use water three times.
When hooked up to a system like Biolytix this product could exactly that by
1. Washing hands.
2. Flushing the loo, and (after going through filtration),
3. watering the garden.

This is really interesting. Saving toilet suite is kinda weird but good idea somehow.

i always make sure that it would smell good and it is well organized..i don't like that it would have a dirt cause our bathroom reflects who we are..and always remember that the most dirtiest part of our house that has a lot of bacteria is our bathroom..

Sustainable Sea Change

A couple of baby-boomers will leave the big city of Sydney and move north to a coastal location where the climate is sub-tropical and the sea is in view.
Over the next few years they will design and build an environmentally friendly, passive-solar house using sustainable products and technologies.

A permaculture garden will supply vegetables and eggs.
This blog will attempt to progressively cover the possibilities, events and progress of this sustainable seachange
