Wall Toilets.....

[StinkerBell]

Good or Bad?

Do you actually use a fixture or just a hole in the wall, Stink? hmm

Reason I ask is a friend had a hose and funnel going through the wall -- seems his son did too.  They were also from the PNW, and I was wondering if it was a trend in the area? 

Very handy for when they drank a lot of beer in the shop and it was raining outside.

I am thinking about a wall mounted toilet for the bottom floor. I want to put a slab down after we get the post and bean up. However later on I am certain I would like a toilet and a sink off the garage down stairs. Just thought it might be easier....

Plus, I was thinking with the pressure those toilets flush the outgoing sewer line should never get clogged.

I hope I am making sense.

I think we need Scott the plumber here.  I think the big commercial wall toilets take a bigger water supply than a house normally has.

I found some europeein styles....lol I only laugh cause NetHog is a Brit.....

I was reading about the water pressure it needs. But can't that be achieved with adapting down with a small water pipe? (I hope I am making sense here)

Our well pump maintains 70psi.

If all you're worried about is a urinal, save some money and space....Just install the sink. Remember to remove the dishes before using

If I remember correctly most of those commercial toilets require a 1" supply line.

I was thinking with the pressure those toilets flush the outgoing sewer line should never get clogged.

The pressure would do nothing to keep the waste side open.  The waste lines are 3' or 4" pipes and vented - no pressure at all.

So Nethog likes squat plates?

I have just searched and seen a few that didn't need a lot of water but $4000 is a bit spendy to take a poo...but it comes with a complimentary shower and drier.

Your looking at a very high end...I can get a nice wall mount for about 300

Since it doesn't need a large quantity of water, it could still be done with a home well system.

70 PSI, Stink -- you better put a seat belt on that toilet if you ever do a courtesy flush.      gottogo

Strangely there was a conversation this evening, going on something like this:

NetHog: (head burried in laptop trying to fix a server issue after rolling out a software update on a huge amount of servers).

Stink: Honey, how much pressure does our well have?

NetHog: (head still in laptop) Erm, I think it can do 70psi... not sure without looking it up.

Stink: (tap tap tap)

Stink: (later) Erm, Honey, are you sure it's 70psi, everyone's laughing at me...


Ok, so the well water rate is 20gpm. We went with "SmartFlo" constant pressure pump, which is theoretically adjustable from 40psi-100psi (http://www.grundfos.com/web/HomeUs.nsf/Webopslag/PAVA-526KFY, http://www.grundfos.com/Web/HomeUs.nsf/Webopslag/PAVA-52NVSM). I'm not sure what it is currently configured at.

No problem, Hog.  Just chain 'er to the door knob if she flushes til you get it checked out.

[glenn kangiser]

Actually 70 PSI is nice for a lot of things if you have it.
