This innovative design for a toilet-sink is pretty amazing. Instead of clean water running into the toilet, the water runs through the sink to fill the toilet tank. The water that you’ve used to wash your hands is now water to flush the toilet with. Pretty cool, I think.
This is a Japanese design that has been popular in Japan for years but is just now making it to the US. Want more information? Check it out right here.
Truly a great product. The Sinkpositive allows the user to wash their hands with clean drinking water before it is used to fill the tank on you toilet for flushing at a later time. We sell this product at http://www.tierrapath.com and ship directly to your home Check us out!

Caroma just introduced the Profile Smart to the US – please see details here http://www.caromausa.com/profile-smart.
Toilets account for approx. 30% of water used indoors. By installing a Dual Flush toilet you can save between 40% and 70% of drinking water being flushed down the toilet, depending how old the toilet is you are going to replace.
If you are serious about saving water, want a toilet that really works and is affordable, I would highly recommend a Caroma Dual Flush toilet. Caroma toilets offer a patented dual flush technology consisting of a 0.8 Gal flush for liquid waste and a 1.6 Gal flush for solids. On an average of 5 uses a day (4 liquid/ 1 solid) a Caroma Dual Flush toilet uses an average of 0.96 gallons per flush. The new Sydney Smart uses only 1.28 and 0.8 gpf, that is an average of 0.89 gallons per flush. This is the lowest water consumption of any toilet available in the US. Caroma, an Australian company set the standard
d by giving the world its first successful two button dual flush system in the nineteen eighties and has since perfected the technology. Also, with a full 3.5″ trapway, these toilets virtually never clog. All of Caroma’s toilets are on the list of WaterSense labeled HET’s (High Efficiency toilets) http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm and also qualify for several toilet rebate programs available in the US.
