Another post in the toilet series of posts. But I am fascinated by our new toilet. And want to share the fascination with you.
The toilet must be from the Harry Potter world, because it is magic. You sit down. Do your business. Stand up. And the toilet comes to life and flushes… Without you doing anything, besides being on your way to wash you hands (you always do don’t you?). Just like magic!
Yes, you read the title correctly. Our new toilet is a hybrid toilet. What that actually means I can only guess. In our old toilet we could do number 1 and number 2 so that must not be what they mean with hybrid.
Instead I think it is because it uses both water and vacuum to flush. Just as a toilet in a commercial airplane. Though the vacuum is not so… Empty(? or may strong is a better word ;-)) as in the airplanes.
So when it flushes there is a “squirl-whomp” sound. And whatever you did is gone. I wish it was that easy when you made a mistake… “squirl-whomp” and whatever mistake I did is gone (though I rarely make mistakes ;-)).
I always keep my promises! Though sometimes it may take a while. Like this time. A while back when I wrote the Before… post I promised to also show the bathroom after the renovation. Well, here you are…
…The control panel. From which you can control all the satellites in the Universe. Or at least the water you want to clean your butt with, and the hot air to dry your but afterwards and million other things that I have no clue about. The difficult part with these things in Japan is that the manuals are exclusively in Japanese 🙁
“Before” pictures of the bathroom make over, as promised.
Note that the thing on the middle picture actually is a toilette and not some kind of home brewing sake machine. It looks kind of advanced with the pipes and everything.
The new toilette does not look as advance when it comes to the piping, but has a control panel on the wall that I think you can control the space shuttle with. All in Japanese. Stay tuned for the “after” pictures.
Our bathroom is ready! We have been living in chaos for almost two weeks now. Stuff everywhere in the living room including a laundry machine. Stay tuned for some before and after pictures.
