Where do you get those new toilets that "Blast" the water out when you
flush?

I have seen these in businesses. They look just like a regular toilet. I
looked in one and there was a black round plastic compression tank inside.

I found it....

They are called "Pressure Assist Toilets" or "Pressure Assisted Toilets"

This model looks like it has a remote control, but is just a sensor mounted
on the wall...

I've installed one 9 months ago. Its great! In fact our water
bill has decreased about 30%(no kidding!) because it flushes first
time all the time. No more second or third flushes.

Just a WAG on my part, but maybe a plumbing supply house.

This is Turtle.

you can buy these at any place that sells american standard toilets or plumbing
supply warehouses. Also i have seen them at some of the big box stores like Lows
or Home Depot. Here is a hint here. The Cost of the flush kits to convert it
over and the cost of a new American Standard Flush assiste type toilet are about
the same cost. now these prices was taken about 6 months ago and may have
changed somewhat.

Kohler makes some models. So does Gerber. Just call dealers and ask them
to order one. Gerber has a high water level and you might want to get their
tall model. In fact Consumer Reports now recommends tall models although it
might be a problem with young kids.

One advantage of these toilets, at least the ones with a Sloan valve, is
that they detect back pressure and cannot overflow. If they feel
backpressure they stop flushing instantly.
Also mine are 8 years old and although I have 4 of them, I've only had to
replace 1 small component in all that time. I would have gone thru many
more parts with a gravity toilet by now.

How is the noise? The one we have at work lets everyone in the office know
you took a dump.

The Gerber which is newer is reasonably quiet. The Kohler is very noisy.
But it could be that the new Sloan valves are quieter and with a newer valve
the Kohler would be quieter. In any case check Consumer Reports at the
library for their ratings.

It's usually the smell and the length of time the occupant stays that gives
it away in our office. By the time you hear the flush, the jig is up...
