Funilly enough, me too. In fact, I was so intruiged that I partially
dismantled the cistern in my hotel bedroom to try to work it out.
Unfortunately I didn't go prepared with any tools so I didn't get far
(probably a good job really) Inside the cistern there was soem sort of
pressure vessel though. The cistern appeared to push a very high
powered jet of water from the front of the bowl to the rear, pushing
the contents of the bowl out through a very small hole. It certainly
used very little water and seemed very effective. I wouldn't have one
in my house though for the simple reason that they are *very* noisy.

Ah those things. Holiday Inns have them. One reason I avoid Holiday Inns.


Yes, it *was* a Holiday Inn. I'm impressed with your knowledge of hotel
lavatory facilities!


I stay in so many different hotels it becomes almost a hobby to inspect
the plumbing, the air conditioning and sometimes the wiring to see how
they work.

snip interesting stuff!


I'm off to a conference in Cannes in a few weeks - I'll take a
screwdriver this time!
