"... the toilet is the first standard height, standard width toilet with this low flow capacity"
The first one made by Kohler, that is. Pretty late to the game, but better than never, I guess. Still not as efficient as a 3/6 litre dual-flush.
1) How does it perform in MaP testing?
2) What's the water surface area?
3) Is it available in ADA-height?
4) Why can't FHB include litres along with American gallons?
