I’m agree, Caroma is recognized internationally as the leading manufacturer of HET toilets, but I design, develop and build prototypes to date with a flush volume of 1.28/.25gpf (yes 1 liter pf)
Demos available on request. Help needed to marketing Licens.

Caroma is recognized internationally as the leading manufacturer of HET toilets. Caroma utilizes a 4″ anti-clog trap which eliminates troublesome clogs. Visit YouTube and see them flushing potatoes down the toilets!!! No other toilet can do this. Caroma also is the innovator of Dual Flush HET toilets. With over 20 years of proven success these toilets are truly remarkable. Anyone who visits Australia will discover that plungers are not sold in hardware stores due to the Caroma 4″ trap design. Caroma toilets save water every time they are used. That is why the driest place on earth uses them religiously! The standard flush volume for these toilets are 1.6/.8gpf (.96gpf average). Caroma also has the most water conserving toilet in the U.S. to date with a flush volume of 1.28/.8gpf (.89gpf) If your in the market for a new toilet buy a Caroma toilet!!! Caroma has the most number of approved toilets on the EPA list period.

Anything that says ‘power’ or ‘pressure’ is probably pressure assisted. Yes, they get rid of the ‘materials’, but I’m sure you’ve experienced the paper just shredding, instead of getting out of there! Also, something a little bit harder to research is the rim wash provided by these toilets. It’s usually compromised by the water having to go to the siphon jet (to get the solids down). Haven’t found a sight yet, to determine that, but still looking. Perhaps call the mfrs.?? TOTO also has more models out now, that are single flush 1.28gpf. They’ve always been known for their performance!

The industry and manufactuers have worked very hard to avoid the backlash experienced when low-flow toilets were first introduced. I have seen the material used for the testing described in the article. It uncannily resembles reality! The new low-flow and even more effiecient HETs are great products and should be purchased and installed whereever possible!

By the way, thanks to Aaron from SJ…I have a friend who is looking for a composting toilet. Perfect!

Do you know if these are the kind of toilets that use the water pressure to force the ‘material’ out? We installed one a couple years ago and it’s worked out great – although it scares people the first time.

Also, I got a kick out of this. Talk about an environmentally-friendly toilet!
Check This Out, the BioLet 30 NE, Non-electric composting toilet. From the description: It is an on-site, self-contained, biological toilet that uses aerobic decomposition and evaporation to reduce human waste to a nutrient rich, hygienically safe “humus”.
