It had to happen eventually, and here it is: Toilet 2.0. Nope, it's not a toilet designed specifically for number twos, but it will handle those admirably, as we shall see. No, the Toilet 2.0 concept is a smart, modern take on the old-fashioned WC.
First, it is lighter, stronger and thinner than porcelain thanks to its Corian construction. Corian is the touch, stone-like material made from acrylic and alumina trihydrate, often used for bars and kitchen countertops.
Nextis the shape. The designer, Dave Hakkens, studied shapes that keep water in when it swirls. It might not help if you sprinkle while you tinkle, but it does mean that the flush can be a lot more effective. When you press the lever, water shoots in jets from eight nozzles, pressure-cleaning the bowl each time, which means you can ditch the toilet brush.
Finally, the Toilet 2.0 makes use of gray water, collecting waste water from the bath and sink and storing them to use for flushing.
As a resident in an apartment built 100 years ago, and with plumbing to match, I am probably more excited than I should be by Hakkens' design. Hell, I'd settle for Toilet 1.0 over the piece of crap I have to put up with.
