They have developed ultra low flow toilets which provide higher flush power for a 1.6 gallon per flush toilet and they also have the dual flush toilet. Which has two separate flushes 1.6gpf and 0.8gpf. They are popular all around the world and finally catching on in the US.

I am in Michigan, so I am lucky to be surrounded by it, but it is still getting costly! I do all I can to conserve water! My newest home water conservation addition is a Hot Water Lobster Instant Hot Water Valve. This thing is great! It saves a lot of water and my entire home has instant hot water! I save a lot of time not having to wait for water to heat up at my taps! I paid $179.95 off the internet for it, which seems quite reasonable! My water savings will recover it's cost in not too long. It only took my like 10 minutes to install! You can't beat that it's made in the U.S.A., has a 10-year warranty, and comes with a money back guarantee! I surely won't be returning it!

Most of the low flow toliets I have seen at other people's house and in public just seem dainty as if they are their for show if you know what I mean. Like the bathrooms that have towels you can look at but never use. My house is about 15 years old so it's I guess it's still a "man's toilet."

It is pretty tough to even buy a toilet nowadays that are NOT a low flush. So your toilet would have to be pretty old to get one, or go out of your way to even find one. The one that I would love to put in, maybe somewhere down the road is the water collection system. I am sure I could not put that in in the house we are in currently, but maybe if we ever build a house that would be on my short list of things I would like. And I think that the water collection cistern is greatly complimented with a gray water collection within the house itself to water the grass or plants. The toilets I have already.

We only flush when *absolutely* necessary: urine is almost sterile so hardly needs flushing. Lawns just shouldn't be watered! A brown lawn in summer? So what. If it dies through lack of water then dig it up and plant drought tolerant plants - better still, give it back to nature. Lawns are a curse. Our water bills are minute :-) We have a dual flush toilet, it works perfectly : small flushes for small things, big flushes for big things.

The new shower head designs are amazing, you don't even realize you are using them. As for the low flow toilets, in most parts of the country that is the law. With good design you can use less water to get the same job done. I have tried out both and have found both to work very well.

The other suggestions are fine but I can take a shower a lot faster of I have pressure and I don't think we need to go into the details of why a low flush toilet could be bad.
