The Chronic Consumer

Have you heard of this thing called Perfect Flush? It’s a little contraption that you install on your toilet that subsequently allows you to control the volume of the flush — in 10 different increments. This is supposed to save you money on your water bill and keeps the green folks happy as well. I’m not quite sure how it works or how hard it is to install, but at $79, it might be worth trying if you have a big family.

Incidentally, I’d venture to say that 99% of toilets in Japan have controlled flushes as a default. They come with two settings, not 10, but that seems to work well enough for them. And those types of toilets have been around for a long, long time (more than a decade, that’s for sure). Oh, well… better late than never, I guess!
