New Developments in Toilet Technology
The toilet has come a long way since it was just a hole in the ground. While it may seem like an unusual topic to be thinking about, toilets and their development through the generations have been very important for the sanitation and health of society.
Many people just assume that Thomas Crapper invented the flush toilet, but in fact that was not the case. Actually the word “crap” didn’t come from Crapper either. While Thomas Crapper wasn’t really the inventor of the flush toilet, he was its most famous marketer. He made the modern bathroom into much more than a “water closet” by making decorative and functional bathroom accessories available to the general public.
If you are in Atlanta, an Atlanta plumber will be the best one to advise you on the best Atlanta plumbing repair for your situation. They can also recommend more environmentally friendly appliances for your home such as hot water heaters, washing machines, dish washers, and much more.
Today the bidet is becoming more and more popular around the world. Now that it is becoming more important and more fashionable to be concerned about the environment, many people think that using a bidet instead of cutting down trees for toilet paper could help save our precious resources. This seems like a bit of a stretch, since some toilet paper would still have to be used to dry off. Then there’s the additional use of water. Of course, producing toilet paper uses a lot of water, so perhaps there would be a slight advantage.
Drying off with a bidet certainly is an issue, and there are some combination toilet and bidets that also have a built in heater that would help you dry off. While it is true that the bidet is not a very popular item in North America, the odds are that its popularity will grow as people look for new ways to cut down on waste.
Using a flush toilet uses a lot of good quality water that could be used for drinking. In some places they use non potable water for toilet flushing, and there are low-flush toilets available too. It is a given that as long as people have wastes that need to be removed safely and hygienically, the toilet will continue to be developed to suit society’s needs. I bet you can hardly wait for the next new thing in toilet technology.
