Plumbing Design

Okay - here is a bit of practical information about your visit to an Israeli restroom . . . they are far ahead of all the foolishness in the States that passes for using less water in the toilet.

An historical note: when my sister moved "out to the sticks" - about 45 miles from downtown St. Louis, the 42 acres on which they moved had house etc, but only a cistern, not a well. The usage guide in the bathroom was : if it's yellow, let it mellow - if it's brown, flush it down.

Well, the same concept of saving water works here - except you have to decide how much needs flushing. Use the smaller push button or lever on the handle - or use the larger one. Very scientific and pretty obvious.

Yup, the Israelis (and probably Europeans) got there first.
