  1. This style of toilet is one of the most popular formats among people who are trying to reduce water usage. Think about how many times you go to the bathroom in a day, especially if you’re drinking as much water as you should. Each time you make a bathroom trip just to pee, you’re wasting water if you use the same flush as when you’re taking a Number Two trip. So, these thrones give you two options to choose from, so you can decide how much water you actually need on a given trip.
