American Style Toilet
Discussion
I need some help from PH if possible.
Currently refitting my bathroom, and I'd like an American style toilet.... that is to say a toilet where the water level is nearly to the top of the bowl.
Are such things available in the UK?
If not, who makes them in the US, what are they called and can I get one shipped here?
Someone must know.... the Internet isn't being very helpful on this query for some reason!

a Neptunes kiss like a geyser?
No, because the turd doesn't have time to go supersonic before entry. Ideally you want to lower the end of it down to the water's surface before release and then there's no splash at all...Oh for heaven's sake, I can't believe I'm typing this!

ts and even if they connect to the water the suction still causes a kiss. You know when the titanic went down and it pulled all those people down with it, that's kind of what happens with a s
t. Also, because the water is nearer your arse it doesn't need to be going as fast to cause the kiss. The splash only needs to go an inch rather than the 8 or 9 usually.

Jeepers, you must be sts and even if they connect to the water the suction still causes a kiss.

Have you tried laying a few sheets of bog roll flat on the water to absorb the shock? It's like an arrester wire for turds.Simpo Two said:

An American toilet water level can be high or low depending on whether the fill line is in or out of the centre tube.
I thought this was going to be about the "turbo flush" or jet system which utilises mains pressure to "load" a diaphram, unsuitable for tank fed crappers.
Low end..American Standard
Mid range......Kohler
High end...ask somebody else

These were trendy here in the sixties and were known as something like 'syphonic WC'. They didn't flush as such but when you operated the lever the level fell quietly and took the contents away, then the level slowly returned to where it was previously. Impossible to pee into quietly IIRC. Google may help...

Q I have an old ‘double trap syphonic WC’ but need a new one but I can’t seem to find one anywhere. Can you help?
A The type of WC which works with a clever suction effect usually requires 9 litres of water to function correctly. The Water Regulations 1999 state that no more than 6 litres of water can be used in a newly installed WC. So the double trap syphonic is now outlawed and have been withdrawn from sale.
