I bought a couple of old tankless toilets like you see in commercial
buildings at an auction. Probably a dumb question to ask now but why
cant you use these in houses. Oh well I got them real cheap, even if I
find I cant use themI can probably get morre than my money back.

It may not be convenient or a good idea, but you can use them in
houses.

They work great, if you like the sound of a jet engine in your bathroom.

And they seemed to be designed to leak.

They will work fine in a house if you connect them to a diaphragm type
storage tank as an accumulator in an adjacent closet with a 1" line
feeding the toilet.

Most of them are fed with a minimum 1" water supply line, which is of course
tied to larger water supply lines in commercial buildings. Many entire
homes are set-up with 3/4" max feeding the entire house. Without the high
volume, you won't get a decent flush, and a flushometer won't shut off
unless the pressure and volume are very good either. Of course, there are
remedys if you really want to use them in a home.

Hmm, sounds promising. I have a 1" supply comming into my house with
100 PSI before the regulator.. I was going to put a toilet and urinal
in my "man cave" bathroom.

Your better off searching for the flushless urinal, it has a fluid that is
lighter than urine so that goes down the drain and the fluid stays behind.
Much more practical IMHO.

Fine if you live alone. I wouldn't want one of those things going off while
I was trying to sleep.
