I first had the opportunity to chat with the people of this fab company a few weeks prior to Earth Day. They ran an incredible giveaway to celebrate – they gave away a potty! Yes they really did. Did I win? Nooo…but I was fortunate enough to have the amazing opportunity to review one!
We (my family) waited excitedly for our new eco-friendly, 0.8/1/2 flushing potty to arrive – and then it happened! I kid you not, an 18 wheeler came down our quiet little suburban street and parked out front. How many times does that happen in a peaceful neighborhood? Well, so infrequently that our neighbors came out to see and celebrate our new potty too! You could call it a potty party!
The best part? This thing is incredible! It really does have a dual flush system using only 0.8 gallons per flush for number 1 and 1.2 gallons per flush for number 2. Wow!!!!
Caroma has been leading the charge in water conserving products since the 1990’s and while recognizing the need to protect our resources, designed the first successful two-button flush system!
“Unique Two-Button Dual Flush System
While dual flush toilets were not entirely new at the time, what was unique about Caroma’s dual flush toilet was its two-button system: full flush and half flush. What’s more is that the innovative two-button dual flush technology works with virtually every sewerage system in the world without the need for modification.
Large Scale Testing
The system is reliable, simple to use and proven from a decade of controlled, field-testing. Caroma technicians and designers work closely with government departments in both densely populated urban centres and dry rural areas. Such extensive real-life testing is essential to ensure the continuing advancement of Caroma’s resource-conservation technology.
Commitment to Development
Caroma’s commitment to developing its dual flush technology and new sustainable products is ongoing. As a direct result, all Caroma toilets meet or exceed the HET voluntary standards in the US. While Caroma continues to push the boundaries of technology, it is also equally committed to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their products” (Caroma).

Full Disclosure: I did receive a Caroma toilet free of charge for this review. It in no way impacted my thoughts or opinions of this product or company.
