I'm always surprised when visiting the United States that there's a lot more water in every toilet than over here (Israel). One of those small things you never think about, but when you visit another country you discover there are other standards.
- nostromo 16y agoAs an American that has spent time in Israel, I have to say that the bowl may be more empty, but the amount of water used to flush is quite a bit more. In commercial toilets in the US you commonly get the pressurized toilets that use a significant amount of air to flush, not just water. This cuts way down on the amount of water used. However, I do like the "little flush / big flush" buttons you see in Israel and other places.
