I assume your water from the sink helps fill the sistern ?
All the good ones fly south for winter
You betcha! and yesterday’s pee comes out of the taps.

Great idea. I’d would personally prefer the sink to away from the toilet though with a feed into the cistern but thats just me.

Standard system in Japan, where you can also buy cute little penguins to put on the tap; they flap their wings when the water’s flowing. Great idea, really – saves water and uses greywater to flush.

Include one of those nozzles that extends from the rear of the bowl at the push of a button and looses a jet of cool water like your friendly neighbourhood fireman and you’ve got yourself a sale.
The men’s toilet in O’Donoghues pub on Merion Row is similar genius, the wash hand basins flush out the urinal.

Ah here lads
This isn’t new.
Back in the day, say 89’ish. The father got one of these brought in from Denmark to complete the job of transferring the outdoor toilet to an indoor ‘all mod cons’ rental he had in the Tower Street area.
And I had sum’ting similar in my off Cork Stree’ cottage in the early 90s. Another outdoor to indoor renovation.

A friend of mine has one of these in his flat in Paris. A great idea.

BRILLIANT idea. Genius.

Pretty common in Australia. Great if you have limited space. Dual flush toilets have been compulsory here, for a long time.
My water bill works out at about $3 per day (about 2 euro).
(I mean, it’s Australia. Where *everything* is poisonous and the only reason there aren’t more snakes is that the spiders have killed and eaten them. Don’t you get hazard pay for living there?)

Yeah, but your toilets flush the Wrong Way ‘Round!
Which is just Wrong.

That’s every landlord that rents out kippy bedsits dream. If only it could treble up as a crying chair or lift the lid to reveal a flat screen tv..

This is perfect for the 1000 euro a week studio apartments in city center. With the lid down, the toilet doubles as a crying chair.

What happens if you leave the tap running ?

The penguins won’t be able to find Madagascar, not to mention the Maldives.
That’s a great idea, in fairness.
And you flush using the button, I’d imagine.
i like this.
That’s pure genius. To the person who came up with that, I tip my hat to you Sir/Madam.
instant grey water capture, bloody good idea
Whose bright idea was it to put a bidet all the way up there !

Very clever..

Your neighbourhood fireman may be slightly more friendly than standard firemen…
Good idea that. Would feel a bit wierd straddling the jax to get a quick drink from the tap with a hangover though..
I suppose I could always AC Slater it.
