The plumbers around here have a loaner toilet that meets

industry of government required update rentals for people
who wish to sell their property. A group comes in and installs
all the water flow restricting devices and energy saving crap
and comes back later to remove it all to reuse on the next house.
People are going to figure out ways to get around all the
nonsense then some bright bureaucrat will write a surprise
inspection regulation and people will wind up getting killed
by the machine gun toting enforcement drones when they refuse
them entry into their homes. Living in a third world country
will be fun by the time the Liberal wackos get done turning The
U.S. into one. *snicker*

We have had three 1.6gpf toilets for 4 or 5 years, and they work fine.
Some on the market now have even larger traps, so they may well work
just as well -- or better -- with even less water.
