If you remember back a little more than a month ago we reviewed the Brondell Swash Ecoseat, a easy to install bidet system that helps reduce toilet paper use and aids in personal hygiene. Now Brondell is back with the Perfect Flush, another after market add-on that promotes water conservation by giving the options to flush using a reduced or full amount of flush, depending upon need....
Brondell Perfect Flush: 50% Water Savings
With an easy to install adapter and flush button unit that sits ontop of your throne, the Brondell Perfect Flush cuts down water use per flush by 50% by offering a "half flush". You can adjust this half flush setting according to your own preference and toilet type (we've noticed different toilet designs require different amounts of water pressure to properly flush). Brondell markets the Perfect Flush to install in less than 30 minutes and fits onto over 90% of existing toilet fixtures, perfect for us apartment renters who want to retrofit with greener options without resorting to more expensive and permanent changes.
Originally scheduled for a September release at $129, as reported by our sister green site Re-nest, the Perfect Flush is now scheduled for a January 2009 launch.

Last Feb. I visited many different cities in Australia, and every hotel and public restroom had these types of water saving toilets, with the full and half flush options. I thought it was such a great idea, and was curious as to why we aren't doing it here. What a super device and great idea!

Every single Western-style toilet in Japan has been dual-flush like this for the past 20 years at least...

slightly off topic but curious minds want to know - I get that using a bidet might reduce paper use, but how does one dry off after? Or is there a built-in dryer system (like the hand dryers in public washrooms, but for your fanny before you get up off the device?)

I'd love to see someone come out with a dual flush actuator printed with a "1" and a "2" on the buttons. lol

We've had these toilets in Europe for ages. Can't believe it's taken so long to catch on in the US.

The French and luxury hotels have Bidet Towels...
...and the Japanese automatic/power wash toilet seats do have air-dryers built into their seats.

bepsf took the words out of my mouth.
This is hardly innovative.

When we remodeled our house we put in dual flush toilets. Not surprisingly, they were manufactured in Japan. Most people who visit are slightly perplexed (there aren't any labels on the buttons), then full of questions about how well they work! We love them and feel great about our little contribution to water conservation. This kind of adaptor would be well worth the investment!

...Um. Australia has had these for years. I mean, it's impossible to actually buy a toilet these days that's single flush!
Come to think of it, that was the biggest difference I noticed when I went to the States in February. Yeesh, how much water do you need to put in these things? You guys have the SUVs of dunnies, I swear.

I'd love to get one of these for our current old workhorse of a toilet. It's a heck of a lot better than yarding out a perfectly good fixture and throwing it into the dump just to conserve water.
I have a water bottle in the tank already, but it looks as though this device would save even more water.
