Low-flush toilets take bean curd test

摘要

Mississauga, Ontario ― Researchers are conducting yet another round of toilet testing, and the bean curd will inevitably hit the fan as some toilet manufacturers are displeased with the results. Nevertheless, one of the researchers, John Koeller, P.E., of Koeller & Co. in Yorba Linda, Calif., cautioned that no toilet test will be the last word on the subject, but it can be another useful tool. Canadian engineer William Gauley at Veritec Consulting in Mississauga conducted the latest round of testing. The tests have included more than 50 toilets, and more will be added, Koeller said. The tests have pointed out several shortcomings in low-flush technology, Koeller noted. All the toilets tested have been approved and are available for sale, yet some of them do a less than satisfactory job clearing solid waste out of the bowl.
